B4C @ Rutgers

RU Buzzing For Change?

Buzzing for Change (B4C) is a one-day hair shaving extravaganza where participants are sponsored to shave their heads or cut their hair. People are encouraged to participate in any way that they feel comfortable, with activities ranging from buzzing their hair to volunteering at the event. Unlike most charities, the proceeds from B4C are used to enrich the lives of children living with cancer today instead of funding cancer research. One hundred percent of the money raised at the event is going to be donated to the Embrace Kids Foundation, a local charity that provides funding and support for a variety of services for children and their families who are suffering from cancer and blood disorders while continuing to support research initiatives. All of the hair will be donated to Chai Lifeline, an organization committed to helping children and their families who have are coping with life-threatening illnesses.

This is the second year that Buzzing for Change is happening at Rutgers University. We're looking forward to hosting another great event in 2009. Some ways to participate are buzzing your head, sponsoring a friend to buzz, cutting your hair, or volunteering at the event. All of the money raised this year will go to the Embrace Kids Foundation, located here in New Brunswick.
