Clean faces, huge hearts at Cigar City Brewing Cut for a Cure

Local brewers shave beards, heads and compete in Pediatric Cancer Foundation's 2015 Cut for a Cure Charity Challenge.

On Thursday, April 9, bartenders, employees and friends of Cigar City Brewing, Tangent Brewing and Barley Mow Brewing Company shaved their beards and heads as part of the 6th annual Veredus|HAYS Cut for a Cure Charity Challenge presented by Carrabba’s Italian Grill, a fund raising campaign where more than 200 men, women, and children are going bald to raise funds and awareness for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation and select nonprofit organizations.

To get fans motivated to donate, the brewery that raised the most by last night’s event took home the coveted “Golden Clippers” award. It was won by Tampa Bay Brewing, which raised more than $20k for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
