BuzzCuts for the Cure

BuzzCuts for the Cure...

A cute (if not overly long and repetitive at 6 minutes) U-Tube to get the word out about the fundraiser put on by UMass Boston 39 s Talk Radio Club benefiting BuzzCuts for a Cure. BuzzCuts is a charity haircutting event to benefit the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition and the Silent Spring Institute.

The link to the post I found with the video: BuzzCuts

The event took place on November 20, 2007. And while I have not found any information as to how well they did, the cause is one that I support. (Not to mention that the two little boys featured in the video remind me of my brothers when they were goof-balls in elementary school.)

If you live in Massachusetts, this might be a starting point for you to get more information on programs available in your state. And while the Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition is geared towards changing legislature, there was a long list of board members that you can try to contact here: Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition Staff

The link to the Silent Spring Institute: Silent Spring Institute Which is another activist group dedicated to making changes in legislature.

From their website:
"SILENT SPRING INSTITUTE is a non-profit scientific research organization dedicated to identifying the links between the environment and women's health, especially breast cancer."
