Sophomore forward Wade Megan launched a website today to field donations for the Kid’s Cancer Buzz-Off, a fundraiser that will be held at Gillette Stadium in June to benefit Children’s Hospital. The event is run through One Mission, a childhood cancer foundation. It encourages participants to shave their heads to honor kids fighting cancer as well as to help raise money for pediatric cancer research.
Megan’s goal on the website is $250. As of the time this article was published, he had already raised $153.
According to a source close to the team, Megan appears to be doing this on his own and it is not part of any team-sponsored philanthropy at the moment.
The Daily Free Press plans to speak with Megan on Wednesday in order to find out more about this initiative.
