Please join us on Saturday, April 13, 2013, at noon, at the Sears Court, Yorkdale Shopping Centre, 3401 Dufferin Street, for this year's Cops for Cancer Head Shaving event.

Host Frank Ferragine from CityTV's Breakfast Television has confirmed that he will shave his head at Yorkdale on Saturday, should fundraisers reach at least $60,000. Members of the Service including Toronto Police Chief William Blair and Deputy Chief Mike Federico will also be joined by the kids of Cops for Cancer in shaving their heads for cancer research.

New this year, Kiss 92.5 personality Maurie Sherman will also host "Jail and Bail," as a part of Saturday's activities. Participants including Yorkdale’s General Manager, Operations Manager and Security Manager have been charged with "Fighting Cancer" and will be placed in a mock jail - complete with cells and bars - until they can raise enough bail money to be released. "Judge" Maurie Sherman will preside and set the bail for each participant.
