Twenty-two Wauconda police officers are among 39 men — including Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran and Wauconda Police Chief Tony Jacobson, Deputy Chief Patrick Yost and Mayor Salvatore Saccomanno — who pledged to shave their heads Saturday to show solidarity with the youngest member of the force and raise money to fight childhood cancer.

The shaving will begin at 11 a.m. at the Wauconda Chamber of Commerce EXPO at Wauconda High School, 555 N. Main St. It is organized through the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a non-profit organization that raises money for childhood cancer research. Those who volunteer to be shorn can collect pledges or donations.
