You know what’s not cool? Cancer. You know what’s super cool? Thousands of people sporting bald caps in support of those stricken with the disease that doesn’t do much for the energy level, the hairline, or the organs it affects.
That’s why SolidSmack is joining in the fight and is asking you to join in as well. You probably all have story about how cancer has affected or influenced your life. Now’s the time to join in, support a charity fighting it and look supportive, albeit silly, in the process. Here are the details.
Small Army, an advertising agency out of Boston, MA (responsible for the SolidWorks 3 Dudes Gone 3D series), started up “Be Bold, Be Bald” in memory of Mike Connell, co-founder of Small Army, who lost his battle with Cancer in 2007. What is with the bald cap? Well…
On [Friday] October 22, people allover the country will be wearing bald caps to honor cancer patients and raise much needed funds for charities such as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Jimmy Fund, Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, and Prostate Cancer Foundation.
The event, Be Bold, Be Bald! is a bold and unique fundraising opportunity for individuals, business teams, member organizations and clubs. Participants simply pledge to wear a bald cap for the whole day on 10/22, and get people to sponsor them for their bold move.
SolidSmack has started a team, CancerSmack, which you can join to raise our goal of $1000 for the LIVESTRONG foundation. SolidSmack has donated $100 already which makes the remaining $900 up to the super cool, will participants out there. Get bold, go bald.
