I'm in the insurance business. CEO of Deep South what's know as a "MGA" (managing general agents) in the insurance industry. I know the indusrty I'm in has so many good hearted and generous people. I'm betting that not many of you know that the St. Baldrick's Foundation was originally started by 3 reinsurance executives? True. Back in 2000 these three turned their St. Patrick's Day party into a fundraiser for kids with cancer. They had hoped to raise $17,000... instead they raised $104,000. And today St. Baldrick's is funding up to $12 million in cancer research in 2009 alone. All told they have raised upwards of $70 million since 2000. They continue to get people of all ages and all walks of life to shave their heads for charity. Teresa and I are very actively involved in giving to St. Baldrick's efforts to help children fight cancer. To learn more about how you can help the St. Baldrick mission click here. Thanks.

David, thank you so much for your support of St. Baldrick’s Foundation. We are extremely proud of the work our Founders started 10 years ago by simply braving a shave. In fact, because of those three men St. Baldrick’s has raised more than $69 million since 2000 and shaved more than 107,000 men and women.
