York City United will hold a community event on Saturday, April 20, from noon to 5 p.m. in downtown York at Central Market at Cherry Lane.
At the event, more than a dozen York City Police Department officers, including event organizer Lt. Roger Nestor, will have their heads shaved by professional, certified barbers who are volunteering their time. As members of York City United, the officers have been collecting donations online for St. Baldrick's, which fights childhood cancer. Donations to St. Baldrick's may also be made at the event on April 20. Nestor's team has raised more than $3,500 so far.
Additionally, York Mayor Michael Helfrich has issued a challenge: If a single donor makes a $10,000 donation to St. Baldrick's through York City United by noon on April 20, he will have his head shaved.
The event will also include food and live bands.

Team York City United is an effort of the City of York and members of the York City Police Department.
