RALEIGH — Some big names were back in Raleigh today for a good cause.
The North Carolina Theater and star of Guiding Light, Robert Newman, teamed up with the St. Baldrick's Foundation to help raise money for childhood cancer research. Newman, who will be starring in NC Theater's production of Annie, is required to have a bald head for his role.
“Producers and the PR people at the NC Theater came to me and said 'hey we got this organization that actually raises an amount of money for childhood cancer research so we want to tie that in with you shaving your head for Warbucks'--and I was thrilled to pieces about it,” said Newman.
The St. Baldricks Foundation will receive 20-percent of the proceeds of full priced Annie tickets sold through this partnership.
