Trinity teacher Mr. Mark Amick raised more than $2,500 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation by having his head shaved.  The head shaving took place after school today in Alumni Hall.  Trinity sophomore Owen McMasters, who is battling blood cancer, helped shave Amick’s head.

Amick said, “My 2-W class won the giving competition ($650 raised in that class alone!) and voted almost unanimously to have the head shaving happen after school so that Owen McMasters can be there.”

In a letter Amick sent to parents and students, he stated that “this fundraising attempt will be in (Owen’s) honor and to honor the fight that he is showing.”
