First, I want to again thank my supporters that have already donated this year and who donated in the past
I have participated in all the previous events and through your generosity in the 7 events held so far, $22,853 was raised in my name. An additional $2452 has been donated so far this year in my name.
I am truly humbled.
Check out the past totals, amazing!!
Shave History: 2010 = $24,567 | 2011 = $39,920 | 2013 = $49,058 | 2015 = $65,831 | 2017 = $78,071 | 2019 = $106,743 | 2022 = $159,720
Total of $523,910!!!!!
Over half a million dollars!!!!!
Your participation has helped to make this event spectacularly successful.
I am passionate about this event for 2 main reasons.
First, it is almost entirely organized and run by the students of Emmaus HS and
second, from witnessing the heart wrenching stories shared at the event of children with cancer.
Some are cancer free, some are in remission, some are in treatment and sadly some have died.
While I have very little hair to shave, please consider supporting this terrific event for this pressing cause.
This year, my individual goal is $1,000 and the total goal is $100,000. With your help we can even surpass this goal.
Any question, please reach out to me.
The easiest way to donate is by credit card or PayPal, using the link below.

Why am I shaving my head, and why should you care?
A challenge among friends 25 years ago has become the largest volunteer movement to Conquer Kids’ Cancer. This year, I’m joining thousands of others to shave my head to raise money for childhood cancer research!
Did you know, 1 in 5 kids diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. won’t survive? For those who do, more than 96% have severe or life-threatening conditions by the time they are 50.
Each shaved head, every dollar donated, creates a ripple effect of progress for kids with cancer.
Your gift will give kids and their families hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charity funder of childhood cancer research grants, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
Together, let’s give these kids the lifetime they deserve. Thank you for your support!
