Champions For Children

A couple weeks ago Mike, Kristen and I attended an annual Children's Hospital benefit called Champions for Children. The event is the combination of a formal dinner and silent auction to raise money for Children's Hospital. This years MC was Glenn Ordway aka "The Big O" and program director of Sports Radio 850 WEEI. Glenn introduced many speakers and also presented this years Champion Award to Josh Beckett. It was a very memorable night that raised a lot of money for a great causes.

Christmas Beards

What's better then Christmas, Beards and Charity? Christmas Beards for Charity! Last year Adam didn't shave from Thanksgiving to Christmas for no apparent reason, this year he has a mission. Many of us will join him this year to benefit Dana Farber and the American Lung Foundation.

Here's the plan. First get some family and friends to sponsor you. A dollar a day, two dollars a day, whatever you want. Each day you go without shaving, your sponsor will donate that amount to the charity pool. Each participant will have they're last shave Thanksgiving morning, and will then put the razor away until Christmas morning, if they can make it that far. Each day, take a picture and load it onto the website so everyone can see you day to day progress. I will be attempting the challenge and hope to go the distance.
