Las Vegas Wranglers Shave Heads for Pediatric Cancer Research

The Las Vegas Wranglers took to the ice to shave their heads to raise money for Pediatric Cancer Research after their 4-1 win over the Bakersfield Condors on Sunday March 23rd. The St. Baldricks Foundation has donated over $127 million in research grants to fund Pediatric Cancer Research since their inception in 1999. This year marks the eighth consecutive year the Wranglers organization has participated in the event and the third straight season they have hosted an event of their own. This year they brought in a record high amount for the charity raising $34,583.70 for St. Baldrick’s.
