It's that time of year again when the Wolfpack gets together to shave our heads for children's cancer research through the St. Baldrick's foundation.
This is my 4th year shaving my head in solidarity with kids fighting cancer w/
A little about St. Baldrick's if you don't know: St. Baldrick's funds more in grants for childhood cancer research than any other organization except the U.S. government. Last year, the Foundation has funded nearly $22 million in new grants – 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."
Our wolfpack started as one: Rob, shaved his head for the first time back in 2008. We grew to 4 in 2009, adding Adam, Jeff and Stace (yes Stace shaved her head!). Stayed as a four-man wolfpack in 2010 and 2011, replacing Stace with Jim, then replacing Jim last year with Rick. This year we are a five man wolfpack having added Mike to the mix (a cancer survivor! thanks Mike!), and are looking to add to our growing numbers, just ask Rob how to join, it's that easy!
Over the past four years our wolfpack has raised over $16,000 for this wonderful foundation and are looking to add even bigger and better numbers to this years donation.
