Hey everyone, I'm doing a fundraiser for the St. Baldrick's Foundation which is hosting an event in Toronto on March 20 where I'll be getting my head shaved. The proceeds raised go towards cancer prevention research (82% of donations go directly towards the research). I wouldn't usually ask for donations on a public forum like this but given the tf2 community's history of generousity I figured it was a good place to ask.
You can find my donation page at http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/682528/2014
Tax receipts are available, just make sure you check that you would like to receive one. I have a goal set for $1000.00 so even if you could spare just a few dollars that would be amazing.
Also the Tip of the Hats 2 event is approaching soon, if you're tight on cash please ignore this and choose to donate towards that event instead. I'm helping to run the surf event again this year and putting together a trailer for it at the moment so I certainly don't want this to detract from any donations TOTH2 might receive.
Thanks in advance for anyone who donates.
Edit: Also I literally just launched the page which is why there are no donations yet.

The name is due to the nature of the event (shaving the heads of participants) and the fact that the first event was held on St. Patrick's Day fourteen years ago.

Bump, I've raised $89 so far (8.9% of my goal) online, a huge thanks to the people who have donated. Still would appreciate some more help if anyone has a bit of money to spare.

Between real life and online fundraising I'm up to $300 now. :)
Big thanks for the help online, I still have a long way to go to reach $1000 though and would appreciate more support if possible.

I just thought I'd give a final update of this fundraiser. The event was held in Toronto last Thursday at the Hockey Hall of Fame. I managed to raise just over $1400, and the event overall raised over $125 000. A few donations came from members of tf.tv so I appreciate those who helped me out.
If anyone cares to see the shaving here's the video link
