Rob Gronkowski, and hundreds of brave men, women, and kids came together to buzz their heads for pediatric cancer and raise funds for the charity, One Mission. The 9th Annual Buzz Off took place at Gillette Stadium and the money raised by Buzz Off participants will help fund programs that provide comfort and hope for kids fighting cancer at local hospitals.

“One Mission does whatever to get it takes to get kids and families through cancer treatment, said Ashley Haseotes, Founder of One Mission. “Our goal is to make life in the hospital less lonely and stressful, provide some joy during a time of fear and uncertainty, and give patients and their families the support they need to get through the emotional and unexpected financial challenges of treatment.”

Proceeds from the Gillette Buzz Off event will fund One Mission programs at Boston Children’s Hospital, the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Tomorrow Fund Clinic at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island.
