The Beard Fundraiser


My beard became a fundraising tool this year.  Natalia's band teacher approached another band dad and myself with the idea.  We ended up putting two jars in the local grocery store.  One said "Save it" and the other "Shave it."  The community voted with their money.  Apparently on the night of the concert where the jars were opened and counted there were several additional bids from the live audience that almost tipped the scales to where we didn't have to shave.  But in the end the community voted and we had to comply.  Paul, the other dad, had his long goatee snipped off in front of the audience.  I missed that concert because of a trip to Ecuador that prevented my attendance.  So I had my Waorani friends assist me in the making of this video.  I am now bald faced.  Enjoy.
