They’re loud. They’re proud. They’re bald — and they raised more than $10,000 to support childhood cancer research.
Derby firefighters gathered at Bar None on Elizabeth Street Tuesday night for a fundraiser to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a group that raises money to help kids with cancer.
At the events, firefighters and members of the public have their heads shaved in a show of solidarity for ailing children.

Fitch reported Wednesday that the proceeds from the event were still being tallied, but that firefighters had exceeded their goal of raising $10,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
