The EIGHTH time's the charm, right?
For the eighth year in a row, I'm shaving my head in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising critical funds for childhood cancer research!
I'm no Telly Savalis (or Vin Diesel, for the kids at home). Do I look cool with no hair? No; I look quite silly as a bald man. Is it worth it?
Absolutely.
If going bald for a great cause makes me feel like I look silly, can you imagine what it must feel like for a child to go bald as a side-effect of that kid's fight against cancer?
In the US, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease. Please make a donation on my behalf to support childhood cancer research so that all children diagnosed with cancer will have a better chance for a cure.
$50-$100 per individual and $1,000-$5,000 per organization are my targets, but if you can afford to contribute only $20, $10, or even $1 to help find cures for childhood cancer, that kindness would be greatly appreciated.
Please support me with a donation to the St. Baldrick's Foundation. This volunteer-driven charity funds more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the U.S. government.

Our stalwart Shavees should be done getting shorn by 4 PM, at which point we will walk over to the Town Tavern (2323 18th Street NW) to celebrate our charitable good deeds (and Shavees’ baldness) together. The Town Tavern has graciously agreed to run a philanthropic special for us. For $5 cover (all proceeds from which will go to our St. Baldrick’s fundraiser), from 4 PM - 8 PM you will enjoy discounted drink prices.
Thank you for your support!
