I've almost recovered from the Bruins' loss to the Hurricanes. It helps that the Hurricanes just got swept out of the Playoffs. About time too. I don't think I could handle one more bad weather metaphor in a blog post.
There is one thing that the Bruins are still kicking ass in. And that's the BEARD-A-THON!!! WOO!!! The spirit of the fans can not be broken. The Beard-a-thon is a way for each of the eight playoff teams to raise money for a cause of their choice.
The Boston Bruins Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation whose mission is to assist charitable organizations that demonstrate a strong commitment to enhancing the quality of life for children throughout New England. ... The Foundation, which provides grants to organizations that meet the standards of its mission, concentrates on athletics, academics, health, and community outreach programs that assist in helping enrich the lives of children throughout New England.
At $93,564, Bruins fans have raised more money than each of the eight other fan bases.
Let's go $100,000!!! Go donate to someone.
The lead profit generator is Bob Sweeny, who has raised $21,000 so far.
The final four teams have raised as follows:
Red Wings: $12,874
Blackhawks: $20,002
Hurricanes: $53,680
Penguins: $82,784
Red Wings fans need to step up. A championship means nothing without some sweet playoff beards.
Maybe they should take a hint from this guy.
David Traver recently won the World Beard and Moustache Championship. I wish I knew this was happening! Traver spent 2 1/2 years growing this 20.5 inch beard. Now THAT's dedication.
I want to be on the judge's panel next year, Alaska.
