As per playoff hockey tradition, I'm growing one for the duration of the Bruins' playoff run. This year, however, the nastiness of my thin beard will not be in vain (or for the purposes of scratching the skin off my girlfriend's face).
No, this year I will be participating in the NHL's Beard-A-Thon project.
In case you aren't aware, Beard-A-Thon is an NHL fundraiser, and proceeds benefit the Boston Bruins Foundation, "a non-profit foundation whose mission is to assist charitable organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to enhancing the quality of life for children throughout New England. The Foundation, which provides grants to organizations that meet the standards of its mission, concentrates on athletics, academics, health, and community outreach programs that assist in helping enrich the lives of children."
I implore you to please pledge me on Bruins Beard-A-Thon!
