VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!!! Please email Anne if you can volunteer, we need more help on race day!!!
Please plan to be at Wickham Park Pavilion #4 at 3pm THIS SATURDAY!!!
Brewers don’t forget your beers. Get ready to have a great time and raise some money for St. Baldrick’s and SAAZ.
SAVE or SHAVE???
Long time SAAZ Member Mac Monroe has been saying he’d shave his head for St. Baldrick’s for years, but only if he raised enough money to make it worthwhile. Well we took him up on that offer and plan to raise over $500!
As you can see Mac has a lot of hair. We decided to put the fate of his locks in your hands. Do we SHAVE IT or do you feel sorry for Mac and want to SAVE IT? Either way St. Baldrick’s will get the money!
So make your vote (donation) by clicking on the appropriate link. Whichever gets the most votes (money) will be what happens to Mac live at the Bottoms Up Beer Run on June 13th.
