I'm shaving my head again! Shaving it in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while raising critical funds for childhood cancer research. 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. Your gift will give hope to infants, children, teens and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
Last year, thanks to many good friends who generously donated, my original goal was blown out of the proverbial water. Over $4K was donated for my shave!!!!! I think we can do the same again, but I'm setting a more conservative goal to start this year of $2,000.
I first heard about St. Baldricks 3 or 4 years ago, and thought of participating, but chickened out. Last year I did some research on St. Baldricks and found that they are efficient (75% of funds raised goes to research programs, 20% to fund raising and 5% to administration) and are a Better Business Bureau accredited charity. Given that, and since this is a very good cause, I summoned up enough courage to be shaved last year. Since it was such a success, I am excited to do it again. This year the big shaving will occur at 2:10 p.m. on March 20th, at Jack's Back Yard (2303 Pittman, Dallas, TX 75208). A smaller venue than last year and closer to home. All are welcome to come and watch, see Jeanne and our twin boys (they'll be 13 weeks old then), and have a beer with me before and/or after. If you don't have time, I will be posting my after photo, along with the current before photo, on this Web page.
Please make a donation on my head, my soon to be bald head, by clicking on "Make A Donation" or donate by mail or phone by following the instructions on the site.
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.
Please feel free to spread the word about this event anyone, friend, family or foe, who you think might be interested in supporting this cause.
