I began collecting hats when one of my clients, Granite, was doing a fundraiser by having employees volunteer to shave their heads on Monday, March 3rd. It was still very cold in New Hampshire where I live, so in participating with them, I knew I'd be very cold on the top of my head.
It turned out that I ended up with a mohawk rather than all the hair gone (thanks, Dana Farber rep who OK'd that), and I was lucky to get the hair shaving done in West Palm Beach with many of the Granite sales reps in that office. The 80 degrees outside that day certainly made it feel great.
You can see more about the story and about my earlier blog posts on the Postwire page I created. It chronicles everything from beginning to end, and shows how $2.1 Million dollars was raised in one day!
Special mention to Jonathan Farrington who blogged about it and sent an amazing cap across "the pond", numerous women of Sales Shebang who sent some fantastic hats, plus total strangers and brand new acquaintances. New contact Kirk Tobias of Carlton Technologies sent 7 handmade hats that his wife makes in her Headpets business.
So hat's off to everyone - and thank you for participating. If you didn't participate and still want to do something, please find your local cancer research center and get INVOLVED.
