I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: National City

I know the current economy is difficult and uncertain, but I hope that you will help. Over the years I have donated to fundraisers by people I know and don't know that were walking, running, jumping, eating, and sleeping to raise money for their worthy causes. My spiel is about the same as last year and it worked. With help from my friends I raised $1,000. Our group at Fox Television in Chicago raised over $1.25 million. Again this year Fox Television in Chicago is supporting St. Baldricks Foundation I will be shaving my head - possibly Friday, March 13 on the air on Fox32 between 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM. It may also be live on our web site: http://www.myfoxchicago.com/myfox. I am only asking you for a dollar or two " five if you have it or even ten bucks if you've had a good year or your name is Bill Gates. You'd be surprised at how much you could actually have to donate. Here are some suggestions to get the money: Get a funny haircut and claim to be a governor with a seat for sale. Put your loose change in a jar for a month. Dress as a tollbooth or gas station pump. Steal your kid's lunch money a couple of days a week for a month. OK, that's not a good one, but maybe you can bring a bag lunch to work a couple of days a week for a month instead of eating out. Dig down between the cushions in chairs at your house, your neighbors home, a total strangers home, or in doctor's and lawyer's waiting rooms. Buy the cheap coffee instead of the pricy special kind every other day. Put the cheap stuff in the name brand cup and youll still look good. Put the difference in the price in a jar each time and donate it all in a month. Skip dinner out two times in a month and donating the savings. Now in addition to going bald, I've put my money where my hair uh, mouth is and made the first $100. For those of you who have had me or someone else donate to your cause it is " to be blunt " your turn. To donate just click the photo at the top of this page. The best way to donate is online. It goes right into the tally of funds raised. You can also donate on the phone or download a form for mailing in a donation at this web site. You may write out a check payable to: St. Baldricks Foundation. Please write my name & ID# S-337696 in memo line of check (see information at top of the form) so it goes into our total. Gifts made by check will be processed electronically by St. Baldrick's to reduce processing and bank fees. If it's a hassle for you then just give or mail the check to me and I'll get it to them. Mail the check payable to St. Baldricks Foundation to: St. Baldricks Foundation 1443 E. Washington Boulevard, #650 Pasadena, CA 91104-2650 888-899-BALD (2253) Thank you for your support.
