The University of Maine at Presque Isle will host the ninth annual Planet Head Day on Saturday, Feb. 14, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Wieden Gymnasium. Planet Head Day is the major fund-raising event for C-A-N-C-E-R (Caring Area Neighbors for Cancer Education and Recovery), an Aroostook County-based organization that assists cancer patients and their families.
Enjoy an afternoon of food, fun, and science and cancer education — there will be an assortment of space and cancer-based displays and programs at the event — and, best of all, have your head painted as the celestial body of your choice. You can either get your head shaved or “bald” caps will be available for a less permanent option for participants.
This event is free and the public is invited to attend. FMI, call Kevin McCartney at 768-9482, Jeanie McGowan at 768-9747 or Louise Calabrese at 764-0766.
