Its that time of year again! I am raising money for childhood cancer research through St. Bladrick's again. For those of you that don't know, I make myself look ridiculous every year to raise money and shave my head. St. Baldrick's is an amazing organization that helps out kids with cancer. In the past I would dye my hair the color of the highest donations choice... This year I am changing it up a bit, instead of the highest donor, I am having everyone that donates choose the color that they would like, and the color that raises the most money is the color I will dye my hair.
I am however going to award a random donation, AND the highest donation from Cigar Geeks a nice prize! So, please support this amazing cause just for the hell of it, and a possibility to win some stogies! To donate, just follow the link I have posted here! Thanks to everyone who participates in this! The event that I am participating in will be held in Naperville, IL on April 22nd.

Thanks again!
For those of you that don't know what my hair looks like...
OK, been waiting for this, I am in!
:cool:
thought i missed it this year.
Great cause, I'm in buddy!
Thanks for an awesome start guys! What colors do you want it to go towards?
Quotebstessl - 3/31/2017 11:54 AM Thanks for an awesome start guys! What colors do you want it to go towards?
Brian, why not pick 5 colors and then limit the choices so people can vote, or have folks nominate a few colors then let people know what colors
I was figuring the donors would nominate a few.
For starters we can go with Green, Red and Pink
Well I will put my money on green, long as it is lime green or a really nice kelly green! :biggrin:
I'll vote red, preferably in a nice crimson hue...:biggrin:
QuoteStogieDad - 4/3/2017 8:15 AM I'll vote red, preferably in a nice crimson hue...:biggrin:
Hummmmmm! and just where might that color come from?
I'm in. I think you should do it like a rainbow snow cone.
Thanks guys!
Lets go people, don't make me come over there!
If you would like to donate towards a color the cut-off will be Monday night, but you can still donate afterwards. Please donate and help out the kids!
Bump
I'm in. Great cause!!
Cmon guys! Anybody that donates over $20 between now and Monday I will send a fiver for the cause. Open up those wallets!
I like the rainbow color format otherwise you'll look great in HOT PINK
Glad I caught this. A good cause. My employer will also match!

OK GEEKS, Any geek that makes a donation no matter how much I will throw all the donating Geeks names on a random number generator and the winner will get a fiver form me.
This is a great cause and every little bit counts. Be sure to make the donation in your Geek name so I know who's names to throw in the hat.
(Would have made the donation anyway)...but I put my actual name - Christian Zinn...just FYI when I donated this past weekend.

Still a few hours to make a donation to a great cause and possibly win some cigars.
My cutoff is tonight, Kent's cutoff is Saturday. I get my head shaved Saturday evening around 6PM CST. You can still donate for my event until then! Thanks again to everyone who has donated, and good luck to all in the contests!
Current total is $1,468. Almost there!

Nice mugshot pic. Congrats on the fundraising effort for such a great cause. And congrats to the winners on here.
Nice! Congrats on reaching your goal!
Congrats on reaching your goal, Brian!
There were 12 geeks that donated this year and the random number generator picked #4 which happens to be Ninfiction! Congrats dude!! The second winner is anonymous. Ill have both of these packages out soon. Congrats guys!!
I can't thank this community enough for the generosity that comes this way every year. 12 out of 33 donations this year were from Geeks, which made up about 65% of the total donations. If that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does... There were also 2 geeks that took it upon themselves to run contests within the contest to help out!
The total raised this year was $1655
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Congrats man and great job Geeks!!!
Brian has emailed me the people that donated when I offered a fiver so I will get those out to you guys very soon.
No no no, don't send me a prize. I'm just happy to support a great cause and a fellow Geek.
Congrats on surpassing your goal! That's awesome.
