Miss Virginia… Shaves Head?

by | Mar 19, 2009 | Blog

No, this isn’t a Britney Spears head-shaving incident: Tara Wheeler (Miss Virginia) is literally putting her hair on the line.  If she raises $500,000 before April 11, the lovely locks go bye-bye for a great cause.

It’s all for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a very cool organization that raises funds for kids with cancer by getting people to shave their heads.  When they contacted Miss Virginia to be a part of an event, they had no idea that she’d offer to shave her own head for the cause.

Badass!

Tara has a very steep hill to climb in $500,000, but she is doing all she can to get the word out.  Yesterday, she flew to NYC to be on Good Morning America and Fox News.  You can see her GMA segment here.

I can’t think of a better way- post green beers- to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than to donate to St. Baldrick’s.  Cheers to you, Miss Virginia!

Positively Yours,
Shawn
