Playoff Beard for Charity

Hey all, as many know i'm an avid Hockey fan, and a die-hard Pittsburgh Penguins fan since 1987. Every year it's always a great time watching the playoffs, especially since the team got good again after those miserable early 2000 years, yikes. Well like most die-hard hockey fans I grow a playoff beard every year for the whole team spirit feel like i'm part of the team thing. Well this year I was shown by a good friend of mine an even better reason to do this.

Beard-A-Thon: Growing One for the Team is a program in place by Mario Lemieux and the Mario Lemieux Foundation to raise money for his organization. The MLF works with Pittsburgh Childrens Hospital to help get funds for research on neonatal and cancer research projects and helping pre-teen and teenage children with cancer through everyday life and bringing a smile to their face. So I took it upon myself to register for this, and keep up with photos of my playoff beard, while people that I know (friends, family, co-workers, youse guys) can pledge money for the foundation through my mossy chin. A minimum of $10 donation will go to the MLF through Cenergy Corporation (the new home for Pittsburgh Penguins next season, funding their new arena) and will really go along way to help some kids that could really use a hand.

So if you'd like to pledge some money on my behalf you can head to my profile on their offical website and donate some money for this great cause. And if not, then thanks for taking the time at least to listen to me and giving it your consideration. LET'S GO PENS! =)

Hmm. I do love me some hockey. And the last time I shaved City of Heroes hadn't been published. I may have to donate a little somethin' somethin'.

But you know I'm going to have to match whatever donation I give in the name of the Penguins over here. Just saying.
