Drink a pint, fight cancer and watch men get shaved, tonight at Mother Eagan’s
Cancer sucks. My family has had a Hatfield and McCoy type feud going with cancer for years and I’m sure you or someone you love has been pushed around too. Several members of my family have been able to fight back and survive with medical advancements and proactive treatment, no doubt aided by previous donations.In the US, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease. Please make a donation on my behalf to support childhood cancer research. Your donation will save lives.
As you can see, after 3 years I am at full plumage. Now you have a chance to do the right thing and make me go from grizzly to gorgeous, from the cave to the catwalk, etc.
Now is your chance to help a very worthy cause and rid the streets of one less creep. Oh and forward this link to anyone you know that hates cancer and/or beards.
If you want to contribute to The Grizz’s efforts, you can click here. And, if you want to be a part of what promises to be a pretty funny and extremely worth cause, head down to Mother Egan’s tonight at 7 p.m. for the en masse shavings.
Below is a video made by one of the listener’s to The Grizz’s MMA radio show. (For the record, I would definitely be down for participating in this event next year, but I have a feeling the shaving of my two-week growth of beard and almost-balled head would fetch about $20 on the open market.)

Thanks so much to the Grizz, Chief Acevedo, and all those who participated in any way last night. We were at the event as my son Thomas was one of the honored heroes - he is now battling leukemia for the second time (he’s 12 years old)- and it was overwhelming seeing the throngs of people supporting kids like him. It gives him and our family so much hope that there are such generous, incredible people in the Austin community willing to help out suffering kids like Thomas. We WILL find a cure, and someday families won’t have to go through what we have been through the past 9 years. THANK YOU!!!!!
