Lift 7 will be Casey Cancilla, a 50 pound Boy!

March 25th, 2009

YOU DID IT!

You CRUSHED our goal twelve hours early with a mind-blowing $5,130! So, as promised, I am going to lift this young man with my beard this Friday:

king-caseyBest of all, YOU CAN SEE IT LIVE! That’s right: Chicago’s own Gapers Block will be sponsoring my very last lift this Friday at Emmit’s Pub as part of their monthly get-together. Be there at 8pm to witness the end of an era. And by era I mean beard. And by end I mean the horrific tearing of hair from face. HOORAY!

On behalf of Off the Street Club, Kay Daly, Will Kelly, and myself: thanks so much to all who donated! You folks are amazing. Come on out and see the terrible fruit of your labor!

    I wish I could be there to see it in person and support you, but the Cinci roster has an extra practice Friday night. I know your beard will withstand this last onslaught, and I’m so happy for you that you’ve reached your goal! Congratulations!

    Congratulations! You’re doing amazing work. Who would have ever guessed a beard would make such a difference for so many Chicago families? I can’t make it to the child lift, but I will be forever cheering the beard and it’s work.

    What time will the actual lift take place? Norma’s right, the Nadabees have practice 7-9, but we can probably make it there by 9:30ish if you’ll be lifting later on in the evening. (((Seeing the beard get ripped from your face)))

    @Loco
    Sadly, we’ve got to do the lift pretty early, ’cause Casey can’t be out too late. We’ll still be kickin’ it afterward though, so come on by!
