March 13th was St. Baldrick’s Day, an irish-related holiday that the St. Baldrick’s foundation uses to raise money for children’s cancer research and support. This year, Hubs began raising money and volunteered to shave his head for the cause. Shooting for a donation total of $200, he quickly surpassed this mark until the night before the event, collecting a total of $720. Initially, Hubs touted that he would match his donation, and now was the time to put his money where his mouth was….
…and so he donated $720 of our own money to the cause, bringing the total to $1440. Granted, it was over three times more than we thought he would raise, so even though the money went to a great cause, it still hit the wallet hard. Good thing we save so well and work so hard! Thank you so much to all our family, friends, and Hubs’ film community that donated. Below are some before and after pics of Hubs’ hair, and even a fun little video of the actual haircut!
*St. Baldrick’s was something Hubs and I did for fun. I’m not associated with the charity, nor was this post promotional. All in good fun!*
Not much of a change there:) Way to go on the donation and matching it! Last time I did something like this, I capped it:)
I’m giggling that you capped it when you are talking about haircuts and baldness…
I LOVE St. Baldrick’s. A friend of mine shaves her head every year for it.
I guess that was “punny” wasn’t it:) I actually have never done St. Baldricks…it was for a different charity:)
That is awesome that he stuck to his commitment of matching the donation. What an awesome couple you are!
Yay for him! I love hearing when people do such awesom things like this.
I would say that it was probably the best haircut he’s ever had, too! What a great thing to do!
I love that he sucked it up, and stuck to his commitment to match the donations -that is a lot of money..but for a really good cause!
Now that’s a pricey haircut! But what a great cause!
Ha ha that is great and so awesome! I love hearing stories like this one.
Wow, that is a hefty donation! I love that you two matched it to donate even more.
That’s pretty awesome. I’m sharing it now too. Happy Wednesday to you!
What a great way to support cancer awareness and to help find a cure! You have a keeper for a hubby! Nice guy!
That’s so awesome and for such a great cause! I know a few people who do this and it’s always so fun to see their before and after pics!
I had no idea about this program until this year. So proud of you guys for donating time and money!
St. Baldrick’s is a great cause. I Went to a charity concert in connection with it here in FL and had a great time!
You are both such an inspiration! I love hearing stories about kind and good-hearted people going above and beyond.
I have never heard of this program before. Such a fun thing to do for a great cause.
Yay! Cool hubs! What a wonderful cause. I know many families will truly appreciate both of you for raising money and donating your own.
I’ve actually seen this charity featured on the news before. I know it was probably hard to let go of so much money but it’s so awesome that you guys were able to donate such a big amount 🙂
I have never heard of this charity but really like this! Congrats on making your goal!
Way to go your hubby on making his goal!! I have never heard of this charity, but I love that he did what he did!!
I love the nothingness weekends…it drives the girls crazy, however. But, we like it!
