The fire that shut down the Hibernian Pub on Raleigh's Glenwood South earlier this year is not putting a halt to the pub's annual St. Baldrick's Foundation fundraising event.

The annual head-shaving extravaganza that raises money for pediatric cancer research will happen at 1 p.m. Saturday as a block party on North Street. That's the street next to the Hibernian, which hopefully will reopen next month.

The fundraising goal for the event is $300,000 with nearly 150 people already registered to shave their heads. Hibernian owner Niall Hanley will be among those who will go bald to raise money for charity. "It's really an amazing cause," says Hanley, adding. "I need a haircut."

In 2006, the Hibernian hosted its first St. Baldrick's event with 77 participants raising more than $75,000. Since then, Hibernian events have raised more than $1.4 million. To get involved, register to have your head shaved or sign up to volunteer, go to StBaldricks.org/events/RaleighHibernian

The Super Bowl coin toss was a big "heads up" last night so if you're a member of  the Papa Rewards club, you've got a free large one-topping pizza and a 2 liter of Pepsi MAX coming your way.

Watch your in-box for an email from Papa John's giving you instructions on how to redeem your freebie. According to the chain's Twitter account, @PapaJohns the email will be coming tonight.

By the way, you didn't have to make the correct call on the coin toss to win. Since the majority of folks participating in the promotion picked heads rather than tails, all rewards club members will get the free pizza and Pepsi MAX.
