TWENTY ONE FOLKS! Thanks most of all to Steve Bowen who shaved every head. He did mohawks for the boys, and full-on buzz cuts for the men and two women who braved the clippers. Manit Nick Purthong used his magic fingers to give chair massages, and Eric Tentori, Christa Doty, Karen Litvak, Gail Dunn, and Sarah Kaufman kept the kids happy with face painting and manicures. Tracy Perez kept us organized and did all of the bookkeeping and Cindy Stickel made the awesome signs. Many hands got us set up and took everything down. With one more beer, I might have been convinced to join the shaved ranks, but I'm waiting a few more months since she's going to need bald people to hang out with for a while.


The grand total, far beyond anything we ever expected, was $8,223. Going into the event, we had raised approximately $2,000, so the amount gathered in our little park by about one hundred or so people who wanted to honor and help Allison is especially impressive. I have no words to explain how we feel about the support and love and generosity of all of you. If we can, our goal is to be able to hand the Neuro-Oncology Clinic $10,000.


Thanks for all of your participation!

Love,
