January 25, 2015 Dear Friends and Family, I’m going to do something pretty extreme, and I’m asking for your support. Along with a group named JJs Angels, I’m going to have my head shaved at a St. Baldrick’s Foundation event on Sunday, March 01, 2015 at Kitty Hoynes Irish Pub and Restaurant in Syracuse, New York. I am doing this in memory of my cousin, Juliana La Monica who died at the age of 3 after an 8-month fight with Leukemia. This will be my 4th year participating in the St. Baldrick’s Foundation event in Syracuse. As I watched men and women, as well as young children sitting on a platform and having their head shaved in honor or memory of a loved one fighting childhood cancer, I was in awe. With my bald head, I’ll stand in solidarity with kids being treated for cancer while raising money for life-saving research. Please consider making a small donation on my head to help me reach my goal of $1200 and watch me and others “Shaving the Way to Conquer Kids’ Cancer!” This is a fun way to do something very important. I’ll be collecting pledges! You can give directly online (search for Dominic Della Posta at www.StBaldricks.org) or by phone at 888-899-BALD. Credit cards are the most efficient way to give, or you can write a check payable to “St. Baldrick’s Foundation.” If you feel more comfortable with donating directly to me, please include a name and address with your donation. We like to send out Thank You notes after the event. To see a list of my donors, fundraising progress, and “before” and “after” photos, visit my page on the St. Baldrick’s website. St. Baldrick's funds more in grants for childhood cancer research than any other organization except the U.S. government. In the past year, the Foundation has funded more than $25 million in new grants worldwide– all because over 45,000 people shaved their heads! You can count on this donation being used responsibly. To see all the research being funded – by disease type, location and more – visit www.StBaldricks.org and click on "Where the Money Goes," then "View Grants." On behalf of some very special kids, thank you for your support! Sincerely, Dominic Della Posta Age 15
