Small businesses can indeed achieve big things.
Three women recently agreed to have their locks cut off to raise funds for cancer awareness.
Their bravado paid off with a total of $9,205 raised for the Cancer Support Community of the Greater Lehigh Valley as part of their participation in “Beards for Breasts.”
Sponsored by St. Luke’s Cancer Center, the event was hosted Oct. 11 by Pearly Baker’s Alehouse and Suddenly Samantha in Easton.
Christina Yurasits, owner of Blended Bakery in Lehighton, her cousin/employee Brandy Baker, and her lifelong friend Megan Eagan took the stage.
The women had their heads shaved for cancer awareness, to support those fighting cancer, to admire those who have survived cancer, and to honor those taken by cancer.
