Boston Cannons Participate at Granite's SBS7 Event

Granite held its 7th annual "Saving by Shaving" event at its headquarters with more than 1,000 participants shaving their heads or donating their hair to Hair We Share, raising $7 million for Boston Children's Hospital. Granite CEO Rob Hale, along with Granite teammates, families and friends, were joined by community leaders, celebrities and athletes, including Governor Charles Duane Baker Jr.; Drew Brees, Super Bowl champion quarterback for the New Orleans Saints; David “Big Papi” Ortiz, former Major League Baseball designated hitter and first baseman for the Boston Red Sox; and many other sports legends. In the past seven years, more than 9,000 people have participated in the “Saving by Shaving” event by shaving their heads and donating their hair, raising more than $35 million for charitable organizations. For each person who shaved their head or donated at least 8 inches of their hair, Granite donated $2,500, which was matched dollar for dollar by the Hale family, for a total of $5,000 per head to pediatric research and treatments or The Every Child Fund at Boston Children’s Hospital. Granite’s annual “Saving by Shaving” fundraiser began seven years ago when CEO Rob Hale jokingly dared a member of his team to shave his ZZ Top-style beard in exchange for a $1,000 donation to a cancer hospital. Over the next two weeks, hundreds more Granite teammates reached out to Hale asking for the same opportunity to raise funds and shave their heads or beards in solidarity with those undergoing chemotherapy. From there, 428 teammates turned out at Granite’s first “Saving by Shaving” event and raised more than $2.2 million to benefit cancer research.
