Well we’re less than 24-hours away from the Launch of Shave Dallas. I really look forward to seeing everyone that is coming out tomorrow night and I know those that can’t will be there in spirit. Remember that the event starts at 7 and goes to 11.
Just a few last minute things. First off, the location the event is called the Bomb Factory Production House which is near Fair Park, not the location of the old club “The Bomb Factory”. So anyone thinking that’s where your suppose to go….”DON”T!” LOL  I know some have been confused about that, but I want to make sure that you don’t get lost. The address is 3900 Willow St, Dallas, TX, 75226. Just throw it into Google Maps and you’ll be fine.
Also, those of you who will be shaving your head’s, be sure to have your hair washed and have no  product in it. We won’t have a washing bay to wet down your hair (aside from a spray bottle) and we want to make sure that aren’t any accidents.
Well with that said, I’m going to say that I am totally psyched about tomorrow night and hope everyone else is too.

See you all at 7:00!

Hey Guys,

I’ve been in touch with a few of you, but for anyone else that is still interested in helping out with Shave Dallas, we are having a volunteer meeting tomorrow night. We’ll be meeting at the Starbucks at the intersection of Renner and Custer in Richardson at 7p.m. The address is: W Renner Rd, Richardson, TX 75080. If you can’t make the meeting, but still want to help, e-mail me at kyle@shavedallas.org.

Look forward to see you all tomorrow night.

Bids will start low, so bring your money and grab up some great art! 100% of the money made from the art auction will go to the American Cancer Society.

So Shave Dallas is only a fledgling when it comes to cancer groups, but one of the things we want to do is try to get the word out there about other organizations working to help with the fight against cancer. One group at the top of my list right now is the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. The foundation’s goal is fighting childhood cancer.

It was started by Alexandra Scott, a little girl who by her first birthday was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer. As she grew older, Alex told her parents she wanted to start a lemonade stand to raise money to help the doctors with their research so that they could “help other kids, like they helped me.” The first year of her Lemonade Stand, she ended up raising $2000.

Unfortunately in 2004, Alex passed away, but not before raising over $1, 000, 000 for cancer research due to others opening their own lemonade stands. Though Alex may be gone, and in a better place, her memory and work still live on through the foundation. Please take the time to check out the site. These people really are doing amazing work.

Well we have out next music act. Along with Iris Leu, local indie band Companion will be playing Shave Dallas on July 31st. If you’d like to find out a little bit more about them or hear their music, check them out there myspace here.

Here is our new logo for Shave Dallas, thanks to the very talented Colleen aka @stealingsand.

Shave Dallas is a benefit to help raise money for the battle against cancer. Our challenge is to see how much money people can raise from their families, friends, work, etc to get their heads shaved in honor of all that have been touched by cancer.

Everyone, whether they know it or not, has been affected by cancer. This disease, no matter the type, takes a toll on one’s body and on the people around them. Some are able to win the fight, where many others are not.

The purpose for Shave Dallas is to create an event where everyone can come together to have fun and give to the fight against cancer if they haven’t been able to before. Pictures and video will be shot of all participants who have raised money for the shaving. These will put them on the site, allowing others to witness the event. We will have a raffle, bands playing, artist who will be creating and selling their art and much more.

Forms for raising the money will be coming soon, along with the location. So please come out, have fun and help us join in the fight against cancer.

Date: July 31st.
Time 7:00-12:00
Place: TBA!
