The original goal was $10,000, but the stakes were raised and support escalated when Assistant Principal Ryan Doherty and York grad announced that he would lose his long locks if donations topped $15,000. Others who have agreed to be shorn for the cause are as follows.

"We would also like to recognize Samantha and Amanda Neely, who are not shaving their heads, but who have organized their own fundraisers to raise over $2000 for the cause," noted organizer and York High School Spanish teacher Joe O'Malley. Assisting with coordination of the March 24 event are York secretaries Kelly Corry and Bridget Baker.

$20,000 and counting - two more weeks till final total comes in.
