Started new thread since I couldn't change title.

Like others and some of you, I've had friends, co-workers, and family who have had to deal with children afflicted with one form or another of cancer.

I'm having my head shaved to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer, but more importantly, to raise money to find cures. 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.

I just signed up to raise money for St. Baldrick's. Check out my webpage! Eric Zerface | A St. Baldrick's Participant

 

Thanks to those who have contributed, with your help I'm already past the halfway point of my goal.

Good luck with your fund raising effort

 

They will be posted...in fact I have to get the before picture up sometime this weekend.

 

Whoo hoo getting closer to the goal!




$515 raised 73.6% of $700 goal

 

Surpassed the goal...hope to keep the momentum going.

 

Goal: $700
Raised: $765
I’m currently in 29th Place out of 451 fundraiser(s) at Helen Fitzgerald's Irish Grill and Pub

Doing good so far, could use some more help. Don’t care what place I end up, not doing this for any reason other than the kids. Here is some things to consider.

According to the top page of the forum, we have 1,330 active members.
Today we had 318 members log on. Here are some calculations to consider.

Here is the current pic...right now all but the stash and goatee are going. If I get to the $1,500, it will all go. Sure I'm receding a bit, but been that way for 20+ years. Valk, you said pic's speak, what are you willing to do to see it.

 

It's a shame you are gonna shave it. that Burl Ives thing sorta works for ya!

 

That explains why you kept trying to get me to sing Frosty The Snow Man around Christmas

Wow this sounds like a challenge!

 

[quote=Larry Hitze;724674]LOL just a little ribbing between friends.

I don't begrudge anyone if they can't, that's why the title.

By the way, thanks Doc for the contribution!

 

I'm waiting for the after. lol.

 

[quote=Erzer;724708] Yes I was too

 

Get your hearing cheked old man,,When I'm asking for a "Frosty one" I'm really asking for a beer..

 

That explains you licking your lips



Well, doesn't look good for the "full monty" so to speak. That's fine, I really don't want to get rid of the mustache and goatee.

 

Well about 4 more days.
For those of you waiting for pictures, you can always donate after the event and I have them posted.

Overall the participants have managed to get wonderful donors to a big $250k! I can't thank the donors enough for their help.

Even a local country DJ has offered his head be tattooed (temporary) with their company logo for a week to the highest company donating to him.

Outside of personal life events, this ranks second only to the CAA in getting me excited. Our team is supposed to get shaved at 5:00pm, but could go as early as 4:00pm. Hope to see as many of my local supporters there as possible.

 

Just donated and recieved a security call from my bank to make sure it was me doing the transaction haha

Shave everything from the neck up is my request

I have no issues helping friends who support a great cause like this.

 

LOL...Thank you much Beaner!

No requests needed anymore, my daughter and wife quilted me into it the other day. Though at the event, I'm going to try and get all the drunk people to pay to see the facial hair go to include the goatee and mustache. Anyone want to see the eyebrows go as well? Heck, if they'd do it, I'd even let them do the legs up to the knees if we get more.

Heck, if people donate at least $25 per leg and eyebrow (that would be a minimum of $50 per set), I'll do the eyebrows there and if I have to, I'll do the legs myself!

 

Thanks Erzer for all your hard work. I set up a scholarship in my late wife's name (ovarian cancer) at her alma mater and also donate each year to St Jude's (leukemia) in honor of my 5 year old niece. They both passed within 10 days of each other.

 

Thank you for your kind words, I am humbled by your personal experience and thank you for both sharing and honoring the memory of your loved ones. All the best to you, the family, and friends.

Eric
