At least 12 teenage students in Groton, Mass., plan to attend their prom with bald heads after agreeing to shave them for charity, school officials say.

Lawrence Academy Director of Admissions Tony Hawgood said the students, including a 15-year-old girl, paired with a local Little League team to shave their heads for the cancer charity St. Baldrick's, The Boston Globe said Sunday.

Hawgood said the stunt generated nearly $15,000 in donations.

It's a wonderful thing to see the kids getting behind each other, Hawgood said.

Kathryn Isabelle Lawrence, the 15-year-old girl who gave up her hair for charity, said she didn't regret it.

I'm a little chilly, she told the Globe. I just decided it would be a really good thing to do.

The newspaper said the bald volunteers raised funds by having individuals either pledge funds or bid for the right to cut participants' locks.
