Close shave: Hersey staff raises money for St. Baldrick's Foundation

Hersey High School in Arlington Heights raised more than $21,000 Wednesday when teachers - including women - and a school board member all had their heads shaved by cosmetology students. The money, $21,139, is for the St. Baldrick's Foundation, a charity that raises money to fight childhood cancers.
