Bald is Beautiful



Uploaded by: Mack5107
Video Description:
In the fall of 2006, Iroquois High School in Erie, Pennsylvania started a campaign called "Bald is Beautiful." The concept was simple: for every $5,000 the students and community raised to help out Victoria Boriety, a 7th grader suffering from leukemia, one of the teachers would get their heads shaved. The bar was set at $5,000 for the first, Mrs. Boblentz, the 10th grade English teacher, $10,000 for either Mr. Gallagher, a History teacher, or Mr. Bowen, an art teacher, $15,000 for Mr. Uplinger, the principal, and $20,000 for Mrs. Cabaday, a Guidance councilor aide who promised to get a liberty spiked mohawk if the $20,000 goal was reached. In mid-February of 2007, the first shaving took place and Victoria was presented with the first installment of money from the campaign. As of mid-March, the campaign had raised over $8,000 to help Victoria and her family's battle with leukemia. If you would like to help Victoria out with her struggle, make checks payable to Iroquois High School Student Council:
Iroquois High School
4301 Main Street
Erie, PA 16511
Or call for more information:
(814) 899-7643 extension 1157
Remeber: Bald really IS beautiful. Spread the Love.

wow its been only 8 months now since she left us, but this is a constant reminder that she did not leave us without a fight. Lukemia is a horrible disease, and the people who come onto a video and post derrogitory statements from their nutshell of a mind have no heart. I really hope anyone who watches this does not continue what others have started by also posting those kind of statements.
R.I.P. Victoria...we gave it our best shot. You just wait, we'll see each other again; all of us.
