Staff and students gearing up for bittersweet “Bald 4 Bucks” cancer fundraiser

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - Rampart High School's "Bald 4 Bucks" was the top fundraising event in the country for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with over $50,000 raised as of Friday night.

The event is Spiderman-themed in honor of Jaxson, the school's chosen "Hero Child." Each year, Bald 4 Bucks picks a hero child to donate a portion of the funds to. Staff found out last week Jaxson died while fighting his cancer. Rampart High School said it will stay committed to donating a portion of its funds to Jaxson's family.

"I really hope you share your journey with me, so I can see the good that comes out of this devastation," said Jaxson's aunt and Rampart High School teacher Jodi Wilson.

Over 100 students and staff have committed to shaving their head. If you would like to donate, you can do so here.
