I have grown my hair out for a year and a half, braided it, fro'd it, let it turn into dreds, survived job interviews, and now it's hot out. What better cause to cut, then for kids with cancer?

I will be buzzing my head. Please sponsor me. Thank you!

In my first week at college, I cut off what was probably about eight to ten inches of long, curly hair. It was one of the most freeing experiences, and I have kept my hair short for the last 3.5 years following that chop. Having short hair, however, elicited lots of responses from friends and family, some of whom asked what it felt like or why I would waste the hair I had. I became very conscious of the privilege I had in being able to choose what my hair looked like, and of those who did not have that choice. Two years ago, members of the rugby team with which I played my freshman year went to Drexel for this event, and came back glowing. Their expressions and excitement weren't a result of their new haircuts, but of the knowledge that they had made a difference, and had fun doing it. Last year, I buzzed my head for the first time as a part of this event and, thanks to your help, raised almost $500. I will be participating in this fantastic event again this year, and I ask you to assist me in this project through donations and support, so that my next haircut can make more of a difference than any other has before.

I did it for the first time last year after about a decade of mop-headedness. Again the event is on campus and I'll participate with glee. ...Buzzing it all...

I'd like to donate all of my hair. For every $100 I raise, I will cut an inch of my hair off. The goal is to buzz! Buzzing4Change is on Sunday, April 18th so mark your calendars!! Help me make this happen!!

Hey Everyone, I am buzzing again this year! As always, my mom, grandfather and so many friends who have fought cancer will be in my thoughts while I lose a head of hair (I haven't had a haircut since November!) Thanks for any support you can give! Cory

Hi! After fund-raising and buzzing at the event in 2008, Kelsey recruited me to help out with planning - I'm currently publishing the minutes after every meeting as Secretary.

I have wanted to buzz my head for a good long while now and am happy to be able to do it for such a good cause!

I am SO EXCITED for April 23rd!! I just can't emphasize enough how important a statement it is to shave your head in support of children with cancer. I'm really glad I have the opportunity to participate in something like this, a group of people getting together to raise money to support CHOP, and in the process showing how deeply they care. It's going to be a lot of fun too!

No story. Just trying to raise money for kids with cancer.
