Beardathon Update: It’s My Birthday!

0  comments

Very excited to say I’m still going strong on the Beardathon front, thanks to everyone who helped me out so far. Let’s recap:

What is the Beard-a-thon?

FullSizeRender (6)In celebration of the great tradition of the playoff beard, Beard-a-thon® was launched in 2009. Since then, over $3 million has been raised for all participating NHL team charities. From helping less fortunate children, to fighting cancer, to bringing together communities, Beard-a-thon® allows fans to put their best face forward for a good cause. As fans pledge to grow a playoff beard during the duration of their team’s run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Beard-a-thon ® continues to grow, as well.

My entry is in support of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are in the Eastern Conference Finals facing the very tough New York Rangers, and goalie Henrik Lundqvist. The Tampa Bay Lightning Foundation supports a number of causes, including the Moffitt Cancer Center, which helps patients and performs many studies in cancer research.

My initial goal was $250, and thanks to YOU, we raised more than that already. But, I have faith in the Bolts, so I’m doubling down on my goal. Today is May 18th, which just happens to be my birthday. Instead of presents, I’m hoping that my friends will help me hit my new goal of $500. It’s not much, but you know what, it’s an incredibly important cause. We all know someone who has been diagnosed, battled, or surrendered to cancer. Hopefully, these efforts will lead to the research that finds the cure.

You can donate on my Beard-a-thon page HERE.

If we help just one person, it’ll be the best birthday a guy could ever have.

Thanks for your consideration and support!

One love,
nK
