19th Annual Head-Shaving Event- Thursday, June 20, 2024
4:30-7:00 pm at Farmers Mutual Hail
6785 Westown Parkway | West Des Moines, Iowa
FMH employees and retirees, plus their families and friends, are invited to join us at this year’s annual St. Baldrick’s head-shaving event! This event gives participants the opportunity to “rock the bald” in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, helping to raise money to support the best childhood cancer research.
Through the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, FMH is helping to fund childhood cancer research, pediatric hospital support and programs, and scholarships for promising medical students right here in Iowa. The University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital and Blank Children’s Hospital both receive grants from the money raised through the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.

FMH has raised over
$1.35 MILLION
for the St. Baldrick's Foundation since 2006, when the company first brought the head-shaving event to Iowa. The event has grown in attendance, number of shavees, and money raised each successive year, and seven other groups in Iowa have split off from FMH's original event.
We’re proud to say that during the 18th Annual Head-Shaving Event in 2023, we set a single-year fundraising record of over $107,000, thanks to our generous employees and corporate partners!
