For a great cause!

This St. Patrick’s Day, I will celebrate by shaving my head to help raise money to cure childhood cancer through an event called St. Baldrick’s Day and I'm asking my friends form TDMMC  to support me in this worthy activity!

St. Baldrick’s Day was created as a result of a challenge among friends.  Their idea to transform an annual St. Patrick’s Day party into St. Baldrick’s and raise “$17,000 on March 17th” for research is expected to raise $7 million in this, its 7th year. 

Since it’s inception in 2000, St. Baldrick’s has raised more than $12 million and grown into the world’s best-known program for childhood cancer and it’s not surprising the cause is so compelling.  Despite tremendous progress against the disease, childhood cancer remains the #1 disease killer of children.  In fact, 22% of the children diagnosed today will lose their battle.  Fortunately, researchers believe a cure is possible within our lifetime – provided the funds are available to find it.

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation grants event proceeds to research organizations like the Children’s Oncology Group, whose 5,000 members and 230 institutions collaborate to speed progress against cancer more quickly than if hospitals worked independently; and to establish St. Baldrick’s Fellowships, to encourage promising new medical professionals to pursue pediatric cancer research as a specialty. 

Unlike many of these children who face an uncertain future, I am lucky enough to know that my hair will grow back.  So, if a little off the top will help save the life of a child, it’s a small price to pay.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation by sponsoring me to shave my head.  To make a donation, and learn more about the event and the cause we support, visit www.StBaldricks.org, click on “Make a donation” to submit a donation in my name (Franc Trinchi) , or call 888-899-BALD to donate by phone.  The website allows you to make credit card donations.

I have set a goal for myself of $500, but I am hoping to blow this goal away. Even if you guys will only donate $5, it will be greatly appreciated!

I promise I will post plenty of bald pics of me. I have promised to let the person who donates the most money take the first swipe at my head. But since you guys are all so far away, if I gather at least $100 from my friends at TDMMC, I will wear my TDMMC tshirt during the shearing! Talk about advertising, all of the local news stations and newspapers will be on hand!

Please have a heart and donate!

Holy shit!!!  How can I donate?  Can I send a little money through PayPal?  Also, see how your new Gillette Fusion Power razor works on your head and let us know.

You can't use paypal, but can use a credit card.

By the way, I'm not going to keep it shaved afterwards. I'm goign to grow it back, so I won't be using the Fusion on my head.

That Philly's one smooth muthah (or will be shortly), and pediatric oncology is one worthy cause. Count me in for a hamilton...  ;D

C'mon man.  I thought the same thing about 12 years ago when I lost a hair bet on a basketball game.  Then the unthinkable happened...... I liked the way I looked with a shaved head!!!

Just wondering...

:)

j/k - I admire youre philanthropy...

Damn, B - you're really getting good at that photoshop stuff...

I just showed Laura this thread, with the altered pic of me. She started cracking up!
Brian, if you go to the doantion page, you can se ehow long my hair currently is. We took a pic and put it on there, and I wet my hair and kind of made it "stand up" to show its length. I had been trying to grow it out, I usually keep it kind of long, but had worn it short since last Memorial Day. This is for a good cause though, so I will sacrifice my cool hair.

Man, that's a nice pic of you bald dude.  You look about 20 years old there.  At our age, that's a good thing. 

I look young for my age. When I dress "casually" I have the messed up hair thing going on, and people usually think I'm in my mid 20's which is good since Laura looks like she's in her early 20's!

So anyway, GO DONATE!

Same here.  We're both in our early 30's, but could easily pass for early to mid-20's.  One time someone even carded me to buy LOTTERY TIX!!!!

I made a donation.  If everyone involved could match my donation, we would only need 14 people to donate to make the $100 goal on TDMMC. 

THANK YOU TOMMY!

CMON GUYS, GET TO THAT SITE AND DONATE.  PHILLY NEEDS A LITTLE HELP REACHING HIS GOAL!!!!!

Come on guys. Tommy is the only one from this site willing to donate to a good cause?

I literally just sprayed coffee all over my PC, screen and ME.  Thanks a lot, B!

I donated.  ...but I donated to the "please don't shave your head" fund.  I don't want another Matt Geiger lookalike running around here.  White guys have nice hair for a reason....because their heads ain't so nice.

Thanks for the donation Dave! The Matt Geiger reference cracked me up! And I plan on growing it back. I'm just upset the event is next weekend, otherwise I would've totally grown a mullet or a white-fro prior to the event. Oh well, there's always a plan for next year!

Philly with a mullet...  awesome.

So my head and AZ's head is ugly???

No uglier than the rest of you, I suppose.

I thought the photoshop of Philly with no hair made hiim look like a healthier version of Michael Stipe.

Ask and you shall recieve.....

I don't think thtas a good look for me. I look like the character Sean William Scott played in Old School (the guy with the tranquilizer gun).

Anyway, DONATE!

YEE HAW!!

Excellent work.

Now, let's see Philly with a mohawk!

Come on, help me meet my TDMMC goal!

Hmmmmmmmm, might have to have a few of the ladies decide that one.  Remember, big doesn't have to mean ugly. 

OK, I'm in for a pair of hammies...always was a sucker for the kids. Good luck to ya Philly...hope you guys raise a greek boatload of money for this extremely righteous cause.

Thanks for the donation Jeff! Who said you were a bad guy? (just kidding, no one ever said that!)

Sure, several people have actually said that.

...but only once.

 ;D

Always happy to help out a good cause.  Props to Philly for putting his hair on the line.  Looks like you are getting close to your goal.  Come on TDMMC, a few small donations will put Philly over the top.

Thanks UK for the donation! My hair will grow back. Lots of children who are cancer victims never get the chance to have their hair grow back. I have several co-workers who have commited over $100 total, so I have beaten my goal, but want to blow it away!

Has TDMMC reached the $100.00 mark? 

TDMMC contributions- $57.00

I edited the thread title. I figured a lot of people may have seen "I'm shaving my head" and figured who cares about Philly's haircut.

Many Thanks  to Tony, who just contributed.
TDMMC total is now at $77.00.

^^^

yep!!!
as much evil as i am im always glad to help out the sick!

Still no sign of Mr. Fein. I hate to put you on the spot, but.....

yeah where's that BFT$$???

I went ahead and rounded it out for you there.  Congrats on wearing your t-shirt....err.....making your goal.

Of couse, we expect full pictures of the event.

Props to Brian for helping hit the TDMMC goal of $100. Of course, if any other members want to donate to this worthy cause, please feel free to do so!

Thanks to AZ Fin Fan for his contribution! (You just want me to be bald like you!)

Well I figured since we share the same B-day...why the hell not!!!!!  ;D

Still time to donate....

PayPal?

you can use your credit card on the site

And then everyone can use it...LMAO

No, its a secure site. Its a non-profit organization, so you can trust them too.
Here's a link, so you can just go right to my page:

I donated what I could

That's all anyone can ask.  I bet Denver_Bronco won't donate, since he's such a scum-sucking, derelict leech of society and all.

Plus he needs all his money to hire a good lawyer to keep him out of prison. 

Denver would be a good prison bitch!!  ;)

Can I have your permission to move this to the quotables section?

I appreciate it man! Thank you very much.
Come on guys, Carnage "hates me" and he donated!  ;)

no no, I don't hate you per se but, we don't always agree, but I do hate denver, for the record.


My girlfriend also said she was interested in donating as well,I'll let you know when she does

My last desperate plea for donations! Thanks to all of my family and friends, I am up to $945 plus an additional $80 in checks (they won't show up until they are entered by the organization) for a total of $1025 !!!

 My goal was $500, so I have crushed it.

Thank you once again to all of my friends on here who donated. I will post pics of the bald head tomorrow evening or Sunday.

no, no, no -

We want pics of the baldening process as well as a nice clean AFTER pic.

No problem. Laura is bringing the digital camera.

SWEET!

Have fun out there.

You don't need his permission.  Anything said by anyone is fair game.
