Still fundraising to meet his $50,000 goal, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society President and CEO, John Walter, showed just how serious he was about showing solidarity with cancer patients by "shaving one for the team."

John notes: "The Totally Baldacious campaign is a personal way to demonstrate your support for cancer patients who lose their hair while undergoing treatment."

Check out the video here:

John's participation in Totally Baldacious inspired fans on our Totally Baldacious Fan Page on Facebook and caught the attention of online bloggers like Margart Battistelli, Fundraising Success founding editor. In her blog, Outrageous Hope, she applauds John's commitment ending her post with "we say to John, thank you for being so bold, so Baldacious, so willing to shave one for the team, and so, so full of outrageous hope!"

We couldn't agree more!

Thanksgiving Day Star-Studded Show - Ice Skating, Song, and Cancer Survivorship

This Thanksgiving, tune into FOX for a new holiday variety show, Kaleidoscope. The show rounds up Olympic skating champions and GRAMMY Award-winning music artists, like Scott Hamilton, Dorothy Hamill, Olivia Newton-John and David Foster. Also performing are Kristi Yamaguchi, Nancy Kerrigan and Olympic figure skating hopefuls Johnny Weir and Rachael Flatt.

But the event isn't only about the entertainment. Kaleidoscope was designed to recognize women and the key role they play in the battle against cancer - as patients, caregivers, and advocates.

In addition to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Kaleidoscope has teamed up with nine other cancer-related advocacy partners. Together, this team of Cancer Advocacy Partners hopes to shed some light on how we're all touched by cancer and can all make a difference.

You can help! Tune in to FOX on Thanksgiving (November 26th) at 4:00pm (EST), immediately following the Thanksgiving Day football telecast. The event will be pre-recorded on Monday, November 16th at 7:00pm at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. If you're in the area, tickets for taped performance are on sale now.
