Friends and Associates:

Every 3.5 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer. One in five will not survive. How much would you donate for childhood cancer research to see me shave my head in solidarity with kids fighting cancer?

On Tuesday April 13, 2010 for the third consecutive year I will be participating in a fund raising event to help raise money for Saint Baldrick’s Children’s Cancer Research. It is taking place at O'Donovan's Irish Pub located at 700 First Avenue North in Minneapolis. It runs from 6-10PM. I am participating in this event as a representative of The J.J. Taylor team as a whole here in Minnesota. My goal this year is to raise more than $10,000.00. This is a very worthy cause and I would love to be able to hit this goal for the children. Your donation would be greatly appreciated by the children. If you would also like to pass this on to people that you know please feel free to do so. I also ask that if your company does a matching gift offer to please ask them to match your generous donation.

I am proud, humbled, and grateful to be involved in this worthy cause. Please join me in helping the research efforts by donating today.
