Fundraiser for Coach Greg's 40th Birthday!
Sunday, February 13th
Statement from Coach Greg
Hello members and families! As many of you know, I'm finally getting that big haircut! I've been growing my hair since October 2015, with the intentions of cutting and donating it when I turn 40.... The time has come! On Sunday, February 13th, Caroline Pyles-Conner, will be giving me a super stylish haircut, with the help of Coach Rachael, and our All-Star Student, Liam Conner! The hair will be donated to a non-profit called Children with Hair Loss. My wife, Dawn, is a survivor of Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and lost all of her hair at 19 years old! So this is important to my family.
From www.childrenwithhairloss.us :Children With Hair Loss is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that provides human hair replacements at no cost to children and young adults facing medically-related hair loss. When a child's hair is lost due to Cancer treatments, Alopecia, Trichotillomania, Burns, etc., the painful effects are far deeper than just cosmetic. Each year, the number of children requesting our hair replacements increases and with your support, we can continue to increase the number of children we are able to help in the future!
We are raising funds for the Baltimore City Fire Foundation. The recent tragedy in Baltimore cost the lives of three of our bravest, and injured a fortht! This not only hurts people's hearts of Baltimore, but more intimately, hurts our Jiu-Jitsu brothers and sisters who are firefighters and EMS, along with their families. We want to make it known, that we support you and your family for your service!
From Baltimore City Fire Foundation : The Baltimore City Fire Foundation was formed with one primary goal – to provide immediate financial support to the families of any Baltimore City Firefighter or Paramedic who suffers a serious injury or death while still an active member of the department.All donations are tax exempt. We are a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt publicly supported foundation under the IRS Code. Certified March 24, 2003 as EIN 76-0722040.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the long video, and read my statement. And now to the fundraiser!
