DHS Actor Raises Money for Charity

By: |

Dunellen High School senior Calvin Nemeckay will be starring in its spring musical Annie as Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks. But unlike most actors who play the smooth-pated character, Nemeckay will not be wearing a bald cap. Instead, he shaved his head to raise money for the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Nemeckay has already raised over 40% of his $1000 fundraising campaign goal.
