Gabbi Hagan, Tompkinsville senior, laughs because her head is ticklish while Debbie Vincent and her daughter Jessica Vincent inspect Debbie’s head-shaving work. Hagan, who is the Mental Health Committee Head of Omega Phi Alpha, has shaved her head three times for St. Baldrick’s. During the event, Vincent, the operational manager at Cost Cutters inside Walmart on Campbell Lane, shared a story with the audience about a young member of her family who passed away from childhood cancer. Omega Phi Alpha hosted St. Baldrick’s on Saturday April 11, 2015, at the Nick Denis Field after the WKU Baseball game. Volunteer stylists shaved the heads and cut the hair of student who raised money for childhood cancer research. The cut hair, if it was long enough, was also donated to organizations which make wigs for children.
