North Reading Resident To Shave Head With Gronk, All For Cancer Research

North Reading' Ashley Jannino will join New England tight end Rob Gronkowski, as well as hundreds of men, women and children who have chosen to shave their heads in solidarity and to raise money for pediatric cancer programs on Sunday, June 4. All money raised will go to programs for kids fighting cancer at Boston Children’s Hospital, The Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Hasbro Children’s Hospital.

Ashley has agreed to shave her head at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, at the 8^th Annual Buzz Off for Kids with Cancer. This event will raise awareness and funds for programs to make life more livable for children battling pediatric cancer.

Ashley is actively seeking donations to support her heroic efforts by raising as much money as she can.

“I decided to buzz it all off because I was so inspired by the cause. By participating, I am able to give up my hair in support of children who don’t have that choice and at the same time, I’m raising money to help make a difference during a difficult time in their lives.”

ABOUT THE BUZZ OFF

Proceeds from the Gillette Buzz Off event will benefit the One Mission Resource Room at Boston Children’s Hospital for kids and families fighting cancer. Additionally, funds will support One Mission programs at the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. Unlike other head-shaving fundraising events that fund long term solutions like cancer research, One Mission’s Buzz Off for Kids with Cancer funds immediate relief initiatives that alleviate the relentless wrath cancer unleashes every single day. These programs include music and art therapy, sports outings, yoga, financial relief grants and festive holiday parties.

The 8th Annual Buzz Off for Kids with Cancer takes place on Sunday, June 4^th, 2017, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Gillette Stadium. All are welcome and encouraged to participate in this great community event to help kids with cancer.
