Phoenix, AZ, March 03, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Four employees of Phoenix-based MiniCo Insurance Agency, LLC, will shave their heads in solidarity with children affected by cancer at a fundraising event for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to be held March 12, 2011, at the Skeptical Chymist Irish Restaurant and Pub in Scottsdale.

The event on March 12th will begin at 6:00 p.m. during which over 30 volunteers will have their heads shaved. Proceeds from a silent auction also will be donated to St. Baldrick’s. Silent auction items donated to date include the following:
