On Saturday morning, the Addison Jo Blair Foundation posted on Facebook that money donated during the benefit will go toward children and their families dealing with cancer, as well as research into medicines to treat it.
'We are so proud of everyone who stepped up to brave the shave and raised money for this cause that is so dear to our hearts!' Members of the nonprofit wrote.

More than 200,000 pounds of Egg Beaters and other egg products recalled
A Michigan producer of liquid egg products is voluntary recalling some products because of possible contamination from a cleaning solution. Lake Odessa's Cargill Kitchen Solutions is recalling more than 200,000 pounds of fresh and frozen liquid egg products per a U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) alert. According to the alert, the products may contain a cleaning solution with sodium hypochlorite, commonly known as a bleaching agent. After receiving a tip, the FSIS scientists investigated and found that 'use of this product should not cause adverse health consequences, or the risk is negligible, resulting in a Class III recall.' The FSIS Class III recall lists the recall as having marginal risk. While there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions by consuming the products, the FSIS said those 'concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.' The agency is concerned that some products may still be in consumers' or food service refrigerators or freezers. If you have these products, the FSIS advises consumers not to serve them. Toss the products out or return them to the place of purchase. The company, located between Lansing and Grand Rapids, produced the products on March 12 and March 13, 2025, with various use-by dates. Recalled products have the establishment number 'G1804' ink-jetted on the carton. More: Cheese sold at Michigan Aldi stores recalled.
