The Brave Hearts of Los Alamos St. Baldrick’s fundraiser will still go on July 18, but the community-facing event has shifted downtown to Bathtub Row Brewing Co-Op at 163 Central Park Square. Organizers want residents to know the head-shaving tradition is continuing even though the larger gathering that had been planned at 9999 Nectar St. has been canceled.

The updated downtown event is listed for 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 18, while the St. Baldrick’s event page still shows the fundraiser at 9999 Nectar St. from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. That mismatch makes the location change the key detail for anyone planning to attend, donate, or watch the shaved heads go up for the cause. The event page also lists a $20,000 fundraising goal and names Rollin Tyler Jones and Stephanie Krantz as contacts.

LA DEMCANs, the team tied to the downtown gathering, lists Theresa Cull as team captain and names four participants: David Hampton, Theresa Cull, Steven Lynne and Melanee Hand. The team page shows more than $2,400 raised toward a $10,000 goal, giving the local effort an early boost as the event approaches.

St. Baldrick’s Foundation says it is in its 25th year and describes itself as a volunteer-powered charity focused on childhood cancer research. That model depends heavily on public participation and visible local events like the one Los Alamos has hosted before, making the move to Bathtub Row Brewing Co-Op an important way to keep the fundraiser active after the original larger venue fell through.

Bathtub Row Brewing Co-Op, at 163 Central Park Square in downtown Los Alamos, offers a central setting that keeps the event within easy reach of passersby, donors and families. The brewery celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025 and is one of only eight brewing co-ops in the country, giving the fundraiser a prominent local backdrop for a cause that has drawn strong community support before.

In one previous Los Alamos St. Baldrick’s effort, nearly $5,000 was raised when 31 Los Alamos firefighters shaved their heads. This year’s relocation keeps that public, participatory tradition alive, even as the logistics change.
