Family and friends,

For the fourth year in a row, I’m going to do something pretty extreme, and I’m writing to ask you to join me in one of two ways: You can do what I’m doing, or you can support me with a donation for childhood cancer research!

What am I doing? I’m going to have my head shaved at a St. Baldrick’s Foundation event on May 13th at Congregation Beth Am in Buffalo Grove, Illinois and your support would mean the world to me. This is all about raising funds to Conquer Childhood Cancers, because worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every 3 minute.

For those of you that donated last year, thank you and please join me again. Together we raised over $3400 last year and this year I hope to hit $4000!

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is the largest private funder of childhood cancer research grants. This is a volunteer-driven charity, which keeps fundraising costs low and grants high. St. Baldrick’s gave over $24.5 million to childhood cancer research in 2013– almost all raised by more than 58,000 “shavees” like me, from people like you!

Please visit my page on the St. Baldrick’s website to make a donation: http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/bkirsch2017

You can give online or by phone (888-899-BALD). Credit cards are the most efficient way to give, or you can write a check payable to “St. Baldrick’s Foundation.”

Thank you for your support! I will think of you proudly as I shave to Conquer Childhood Cancers.

Sincerely,

Bryan
