VERNON HILLS, IL — Hawthorn Center in Vernon Hills will host its "Rock the Bald" event this weekend. The fun-filled day is meant to rise money to help find a cure for childhood cancer and includes a St. Baldrick's head-shaving event. During the event, which will run from 12 to 2 p.m. on March 26 on the lower level in Center Park, guests will be invited to shave their head, volunteer or donate, according to a news release. There will also be face painting, balloon art and raffles. The event is being held in cooperation with St. Baldrick's Foundation, a volunteer-powered charity that funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any other organization outside the U.S. government. One lucky "shavee" will receive a $500 shopping spree at Hawthorn Mall, according to a news release. Those interested in learning more or donating can visit the event website.
