Team WAGM Makes A Difference At Annual Planet Head Day Event To Benefit C.A.N.C.E.R.

Team WAGM Makes A Difference At Annual Planet Head Day Event To Benefit C.A.N.C.E.R. raising more than four thousand dollars to help local county community 

(February 2012)--This past weekend's Planet Head Day event to benefit C.A.N.C.E.R. (the Caring Area Neighbors for Cancer Education and Recovery) was a massive success. 

A whopping 27 thousand dollars was raised by participants, supporters and volunteers. My goodness, I get emotional just seeing the people, the enthusiasm, the support and the joy of how we all came together for this event at UMPI's Wieden gymnasium. 

 

The event kicked off at 11am and when you walked in, there were barber stations ready to shave...painting stations with local artists ready to paint planets on the heads of those who braved the goal.  Our own Team WAGM (me and Chris Weimer) raised more than four thousand dollars with the station generously matching our efforts up to a certain amount.

And our two colleagues Dan Stairs and Josh Archer also raised funds and had their heads shaved and painted. Along with Chris. I had my head painted and when it was all said and done, I chose to be Planet Saturn. Gotta love the rings. And I think it truly suit me.

I wore them well, I was told. Chris and I and all the supporters of this event put in a lot time fundraising...including some community appearances of which you saw past pictures on this blog and my facebook pages. It was so worth it though.

Chris also made a story that aired on our station and I'll upload that piece later on. Its inspiring! We're already making plans for next year...go bigger, go better!

                                                

I'm so proud of how the county community comes together to take care of their own.
