Fanatics -

Last year we all got together and raised over 10 K to support the St. Baldrick's Foundation, a group that raises money to fight childhood cancer. A little over a week ago, I issued this challenge.

While I am grateful for those who have supported the cause, the numbers are a lot lower than a year ago. I have lowered my expectations. My little neighbor Ava, who is a brain cancer survivor, has agreed to chop her hair off and donate it to Locks for Love tomorrow night (I will be shaving my head along with dozens of other folks here in Bondurant).

Ava's goal is to raise $5,000. Right now, she is at just over 3K. If everybody on this board just gives up a cup of coffee or two and donates to her, she will shatter her goal. In fact if that happened, we'd get over the 10 K we raised last year.

PLEASE...If you can, help this little girl out. It would make her day. She is so excited to raise money for the cause. I talked to her dad about it again last night. She can't wait. Thanks for your help in spreading the word. Have a great Friday.

Donated the beer money I was going to spend at the Final Four! Still think you should grow a vicious beard to pair with the shaved head.

Keep this bumped so I remember to donate after work.

I'm guaranteed to win at least $50 in our office pool, $300 if Wisky wins tomorrow. I can part with some of this for a good cause!

Thanks for bumping this again Chris! I meant to donate the first time I saw this, but it was when I was surfing at work and it left my mind (like everything else once I leave work).

Not a problem at all. Thank you for the continued support!
