Rob Gronkowski to Headline 2013 Kid's Cancer Buzz-Off

One Mission, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support for children and families touched by pediatric cancer, is pleased to welcome back football’s finest, Rob Gronkowski, at their fourth annual Kid’s Cancer Buzz-Off taking place on June 9 at Gillette Stadium.

Gronkowski will join hundreds of men, women and children as they “buzz” their heads in solidarity and support for those courageously fighting pediatric cancer, all to benefit Boston Children’s Hospital.
 
Now in his third year participating in One Mission’s largest annual fundraising event, Gronkowski will lead the troops in shaving their locks in this collaborative, touching effort to help put an end to pediatric cancer. In addition to “getting buzzed,” Gronkowski will also “do the buzzing” for some of this year’s participants.

“It’s great to be back on board for this year’s Buzz-Off," said Gronkowski. "I’ll be making quite a few appeals to Gronknation over the next couple of months in hopes that we can get everyone involved in some way, so stay tuned in. These kids are incredibly special and deserve all the support we can give, no matter how big or small.”
 
At this year’s Kid’s Cancer Buzz-Off, One Mission seeks to recruit 800 “buzzees” and raise $1 million to benefit Boston Children’s Hospital. One Mission, one of the largest community supporters of Boston Children’s Hospital, graciously funds over 60 percent of the programs and services offered in the resource room of the Hospital’s pediatric oncology floor including hosting activities such as yoga, arts & crafts therapy, spa days and game nights for its patients.

One Mission also provides financial assistance to families who have a child battling cancer. Gronkowski will help supplement One Mission’s dedication to enhancing the lives of pediatric cancer patients and their families through help, hope, care and support.
 
The fourth annual Kid’s Cancer Buzz-Off will take place on Sunday, June 9, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Putnam Club level of Gillette Stadium. For more information, to register, to sponsor a “buzzee” or team or to make a donation, please visit: www.buzzforkids.org.
