"Goin' Bald for Bucks"

A Victor High School student says she's "Goin' Bald for Bucks" this Friday.
18-year-old Whitney Bishop is going to shave her head at the school's homecoming pep rally to raise money for the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo.
But that's not all...19 Victor teachers have agreed to shave their heads depending on how much money is raised.
Whitney is donating her hair to "Locks of Love."
"I think it's important because cancer is really a big thing and its a big thing in society where bullying and judgements isn't all that great. It's not an easy thing for people to lose their hair, so I want to show them that everyone is beautiful no matter what," said Bishop.
Whitney has already raised $1,000 herself ahead of Friday's shaving. Students will be collecting donations all week during lunch.
