ST. BALDRICK'S - THE MORNING AFTER...

Great event yesterday in downtown Denver at Fado's Irish Pub (yes, I took Sherry and my daughters to an Irish pub at nine o'clock on a Friday morning). Fifty-five total shavees showed up, and collectively we raised nearly $70,000 for Pediatric Cancer Research through the St. Baldrick's Foundation. We also had the chance to meet some very brave little kids who are battling pediatric cancer, as well as some local celebrities, members of the Colorado Avalanche hockey club and hundreds of St. Patrick's Day/weekend revelers who really had no idea what was going on, but who thought getting your head shaved in an Irish pub at nine o'clock on a Friday morning was a cool thing to do.

Thanks to everyone for your support... my ears are feeling a little cold this morning, but we definitely warmed the hearts of some amazing families going through a rough time.
