"Shave to Save" for Camp Care

When Madison Scullin, a student at Baton Rouge High School, decided to shave her head she not only raised eyebrows, she also raised over $500 for Cancer Services’ Camp Care Program. Her donation, just in time for summer, will provide much needed transportation for the children while at camp.

Years ago when her mother was being treated for cancer, Madison attended Camp Care as part of our KidsKare program, which supports children whose parent or guardian is living with cancer. This year after a friend sparked her memory of what the program meant to her, Madison approached Cancer Services with the idea and before long she was shaving her head at school while family and classmates looked on in amazement.

Camp Care is a week-long summer day camp for children who have cancer and their siblings. The camp provides a safe and supportive environment where kids can laugh, play and forget about cancer for a little while. This year's 16th annual Camp Care will host over 50 children.
