Ok, if ya want the speal..
This March, I’m adding a twist to my St. Patrick’s Day celebration (a week before the big 30!) by shaving my head at Empire in Sacramento to raise money for a cure for childhood cancer through an event called St. Baldrick’s Day.
St. Baldrick’s was dreamt up by a group of business executives in New York City in 2000, who had been observing St. Patrick’s Day in the traditional way---pints at their favorite pub, with music and laughter in great supply. They decided to give their celebration a little twist and help young children diagnosed with cancer by recruiting volunteers to have their heads shaved in public in return for pledges of financial support.
What began with a goal of “$17,000 on the 17th of March,” in five years raised nearly $7,000,000! The primary beneficiary of the event is CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation, the only organization of its kind focused solely on supporting life-saving research and treatment of childhood cancer.
Unlike many of these children who face an uncertain future, I am lucky enough to know that my hair will grow back in just a couple of months. So, if a little off the top will help save the life of a child, it’s a small price to pay. I personally have lost more relatives than I can count with my fingers so I know what a crappy disease cancer is, shaving my head is nothing compared to maybe saving a life or just making a poor kid feel better for even a minute..
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation by sponsoring me to shave my head. To make a donation, and learn more about the event and the cause, visit
www.StBaldricks.org, click on “Sponsor a Shavee” to submit a donation in my name, or call 888-899-BALD to donate by phone. I will also be collecting pledges at (office a work, home address, commit by email, etc.).
Check the link below to go directly to a page where you can donate, I am asking that you donate one dollar, and if you can donate more this is fully tax deductible and for a good cause - if you know anyone that might be able to "give a buck" please let them know as well!
