PHOTOS: Farmingdale's St. Baldrick's Fundraiser

The event took place at Jackie Reilly's.

More than 200 local residents got their heads shaved as part of the annual to benefit childhood cancer research.

"We currently have raised $94,000 for pediatric cancer research and anticipate raising over $100,000 when all the 'day of' donations are tallied and submitted," said co-organizer Monica Kuchinskas.

There were 219 volunteer “shavees,” including three women, who ranged in age from 2 years old to 77 years old at Jackie Reilly's on Sunday. Farmingdale merchants and others donated raffle prizes.
