SHARKS FORWARD BRENT BURNS ANNOUNCES “BURNZIE’S BUZZCUT FOR CHARITY”
We all love charitable endeavors and Sharks Brent Burns is finally giving us a reason to love his caveman appearance as of late.
SAN JOSE – Sharks Right Wing Brent Burns (@Burnzie88), who most recently has been recognizable by his untamed hair and mountain-man beard, today announced “Burnzie’s Buzzcut for Charity.” In an effort to raise donations to support Defending the Blue Line and the Katie Moore Foundation, Burns is going to allow one of his teammates to give him a buzz cut and shave his beard on Nov. 1. From now until October 31, the Sharks Foundation will be accepting donations with the goal of raising $5,000 for each of these worthwhile charities. Fans who donate $50 or more will receive a signed “before/after” photo of Burns, while the Top 3 donors will have the chance to meet Brent and witness the shaving in person. Giving totals will be updated daily on the Sharks Foundation’s website and Facebookand Instagram accounts so fans can track the progress of this special fundraiser.
