Dominion Digital Team to Support Kids with Cancer by Shaving Their Heads Bald
Team to Raise Money for St. Baldrick's Foundation in Memory of Teammate, Steve Mestker
RICHMOND, VA - March 10, 2008 - On March 29th at the St. Patrick Church Irish Festival in Richmond, a team of brave Dominion Digital associates, along with hundreds of others volunteers, will shave their heads in solidarity of children with cancer while requesting donations of support from friends, family, and colleagues.
Orchestrated by the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research, the Dominion Digital team is participating in memory of Steve Metsker, a fellow teammate who lost his life to cancer on February 8th. A loving and caring husband, father, brother, son, friend, and colleague, he was also a humble and wise mentor. Thinking of children first, Steve and his family requested donations and support of St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
The Dominion Digital team has set a goal of raising $2,500. Please support our cause by visiting our team’s site and contributing through an online donation.

About St. Baldrick’s Foundation
More than 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide each year, and cancer remains the #1 disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is Shaving the Way to Conquer Kids’ Cancer with the help of thousands of volunteers, by raising money for childhood cancer research, at its signature head-shaving events. Volunteer “shavees” sponsored by family, friends and employers, go bald in solidarity with kids who typically lose their hair during cancer treatment. Proceeds are granted to the world’s leading childhood cancer research institutions. Since 2000, more than 46,000 heads have been shorn for St. Baldrick's, raising more than $34 million for life-saving research. St. Baldrick’s unites volunteers in one vision—to deliver cures for all kids by funding cancer research and pediatric oncology fellowships.
