We love good deeds in this fandom, and this time the U.S. BTS ARMY and St. Baldrick’s Foundation are joining forces to raise money for childhood cancer research grants!
On Saturday, March 7, BTS fan and member of the BTS ARMY Anja Kloch will be shaving her head in the name of childhood cancer research! The event will take place at McMullan’s Irish Pub in Las Vegas, NV, and Anja is making it extra special.
Anja will be using the side of her head to recognize which BTS member receives the most donations in their name.
That’s right, donations made on Anja’s participant page and tagged with #RM, #Jin, #Suga, #J-Hope, #V, #Jimin or #JK will be entered into the contest and tracked! Whichever member receives the most donations will be featured in the shave in a special and fun way!
Anja is a breast cancer survivor herself and the Chief Executive Relations Officer at the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. While going through her own cancer treatment, she was in a room next to a child who was waiting for their own procedure.
“My immediate thought was kids shouldn’t have to battle cancer like an adult does,” said Anja Kloch. “The treatments I endured were excruciatingly painful and to have a child endure similar treatments and surgeries I went through is unimaginable. I’m shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research so that kids like the one I was sitting next to and all kids battling cancer no longer have to fear what’s to come and will have better treatment options.”

Who's your bias? For ARMY Mom & cancer survivor Anja, it's Jimin! On 3/7, she'll be shaving her head with @StBaldricks to support childhood cancer research. Join us and @anjakloch to “Do Your Thang”
