Hello once again, blog faithful!
Fabforum This evening finds me in good spirits as I plunk down
onto my sofa and scribe this week's entry because I just returned
from my annual Cuts for the Kids charity event. It was another
awesome turnout this year, and the venue, unlike last year's, was
indoors, so it wasn't as cold and windy. We held it at The RINKS --
Huntington Beach Inline, and it proved to be a great setting for
the massive hair chopping that took place. Thanks to Sport Clips,
we were able to lower the ears of 50 willing hair donors and raise
some funds for a great charity in CLF (Childhood Leukemia
Foundation). It seems like this event grows exponentially every
year, so a big thank you goes out to all the fans who have
participated and to the Ducks staff for running a smooth operation
every year.
Cut for the Kids is definitely one event every year that I look
forward to. It is a great way to meet some of our fans, and it
provides them a way to help out a great cause. It reminds us all
that you don't have to be a celebrity or professional athlete to
help out those less fortunate. In fact, I think the best part of
this event are the young kids who grow their hair out for a year or
more with the sole intention of helping out other kids their age. I
think that is so cool, and this year we had many kids who did that
very thing.
