Boise Mayor Dave Beiter Shaving Head for Charity This Friday

At the hands of Camp Rainbow Gold Kids * Public Welcome *

 

BOISE, ID. – On October 2, Tom Beeles, President of Allied Business Solutions will present a check for $25,149 to Elizabeth Lizberg with the Camp Rainbow Gold program.  Following the presentation, several children that attend Camp Rainbow Gold, which is a program of the American Cancer Society, will then shave Mayor Dave Bieter's head.  The money was raised through Allied Business Solutions' Helpful Happy Hour event held on September 17, 2009.  The Mayor made a deal if $25,000 was raised, that he would shave his head.  Now its time!  The event is open to the public and will be held at Olivers Salon downtown Boise, this Friday at 3pm.  "We were so excited that we had such a great showing at our Helpful Happy Hour, then to be able to raise over $25,000 to win the bet with Mayor Bieter, that just made my day!" said Tom Beeles, President of Allied Business Solutions and coordinator of the Helpful Happy Hour.      

About Camp Rainbow Gold

When you hear Camp Rainbow Gold, you may hear about silly skits around campfires, a child catching their first fish or discovering the Big Dipper in the night sky. Maybe you learn about how volunteers come together for a week each year to help 85 children shrug the stress of living with cancer. No matter the story, you hear – and feel – what happens when people come together to enjoy nature and friendship, to let kids be kids. But there's more to Camp Rainbow Gold. What started as 15 campers has grown to 85. What started as a week has grown into a year-round program that supports and fosters children who have been diagnosed with cancer and their families. Camp Rainbow Gold is an oncology camp, a sibling camp and a family camp. It's a hockey night, a football night, a ski day, a teen support group and a college scholarship program. Camp Rainbow Gold is inspiration and unity. Camp Rainbow Gold is a celebration of life. www.camprainbowgold.org
