Organizers said childhood cancer impacts the entire family and the community.
"Shaving my hair, letting it go, is just a small token of what I can do to continue fighting this fight and win this battle," said Dr. Marcio Malogolowkin, Chief of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at the center.
The team hoped to raise $25,000 for cancer research Monday.
