Raising $$$ to KICK Cancer's BUTT!

Donation protected

We have hit our first goal...  come July 1st a shaving will happen.  Now we are shooting for another shave (Traceman)  please help out and thank you so much for all the support. 






This year Janey (my wife) and I were asked to be the chairs for the American Cancer Society's Cattle Barons Ball on Oct. 7th, 2017.  During the event, they have a Wrangle for Research, which is the portion of the night when guests donate money (think raising your paddle). These funds go directly towards cancer research. Over the years the stories are truly compelling of how research has given extra birthdays to people fighting cancer.  

As a way to generate interest and dollars ahead of the event, I told my wife and son (Trace) I would shave my head if we raised $5,000 before July 1st!!!   Little did I know they’re making me stick to it! In fact, Trace said he would help by shaving his head too if we can double that number!  I told him $10,000 is a lot of money but we are going to try!!!  He told me, “It’s for a good cause, dad!”  

Whatever we raise, this will be the first amount donated on October 7th during Wrangle for Research!!!  So please help us get there...  I don't care if its $1 or $5,000, we would appreciate any help you can offer! 

On a personal note, I have lost my mom, dad and grandparents to cancer.  I would have done anything to have them for one more birthday or to meet my son Trace.  Cancer doesn't care who you are...  doesn't care what color you are...  doesn't care about your income...  doesn't care about anything...  So, I will do anything to fight it and help create more birthdays in this world!!!

Thank you so much for your help in this fight!!!

For more info about the event log onto Akron Cattle Baron's Ball on Facebook- or shoot me a message and again - THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

 

PS - The highest donor will be asked if they would like to shave my head themselves!!!  We will be doing a FB Live video of the shaving of the head at Portage Lakes (location to be determined later).
