Boston Blazers tough guy Paul Dawson is cutting his mane to fight cancer. The rest of the squad may be next.
On April 2 at 2:30 p.m. at West End Johnnies in Boston, Dawson will donate his long hair to Locks of Love via Friends Place, the patient consultation center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The hair-cutting event is open and free to the public, and it supports the Blazers and the National Lacrosse League’s Black Out Cancer night April 3 at TD Garden.
If Boston fans make a donation to cancer research and the Blazers raise $5,000 before Dawson gets his new ‘do, every player on the team will shave his head.
