in an effort to use my public image for more positive things, i'm participating in the capitals beard a thon for charity again this year. i am going to shave off my ridiculous sideburns, and start with fresh cheeks for the playoffs. as long as the caps are in the running for the stanley cup, i won't shave my face. all proceeds go to the fort dupont ice arena:
Washington Capitals Charities will be donating all proceeds from the 2011 Beard-A-Thon to Friends of Fort Dupont Ice Arena. Fort Dupont is the only public indoor ice arena located in Washington, D.C., and the only skating facility in the area that provides free or subsidized skating programs to children. Its Kids On Ice programs provide free figure skating, hockey and speed skating lessons to vulnerable and economically disadvantaged youth who might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn these sports. Lessons learned on the ice, such as teamwork, respect, hard work and discipline, translate to lessons learned in the classroom and beyond. Friends of Fort Dupont Ice Arena partners with public and private schools, summer camps, churches and local community organizations to promote and deliver its programs to more than 7,000 children per year.
if you can spare a few bucks, please go to my profile and click on "pledge this beard." every little bit helps.
