Brave the Shave!

For the fifth year in a row, Basin Electric is proud to host its annual St. Baldricks fundraising event.  Each year, 160,000 children are diagnosed with cancer worldwide. Cancer is the number one disease killer of children in the U.S. and Canada. Research saves lives.

The event will take place at Bismarck State College’s Armory on March 16th starting at 1:30pm.  This year’s event is cosponsored by MDU Resource Group, National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC) and Basin Electric.

This particular event started in North Dakota in 2008 with nearly 700 volunteers shaving their heads in honor of those children with cancer.  Since then the Bismarck-Mandan area has raised more than $500,000 for childhood cancer research and fellowships.
