Chuck's Big Haircut for Haiti

I will be traveling to Haiti from May 28th through June 4th as part of a relief trip organized by Grace United Methodist Church in Carlisle, PA. We will be working with the United Methodist Commission on Relief, which has been active in Haiti for 15 years and has a good working relationship with people in the country.

While these trips are very worthwhile and rewarding, they are also quite expensive. In addition to the individual costs for each team member (between $1600 and $1800) the team needs to raise $3750. This money will be used for supplies for construction of a church/community building while we are in Haiti. I am trying to personally raise $2000 and as part of my fundraising efforts I am announcing "Chuck's Big Haircut for Haiti" and committing myself to the following hair styles for the trip:

This is about what my hair looks like right now
If I raise $1000, I'll go back to the classic "short hair Chuck"
If I get up to $1500, I'll go for the buzzcut (although I may still keep the beard):

And if I make it to $2000, I'll go for a full on razor shaved head. I don't have a picture for this one, so you'll have to use your imagination.

If you're interested in making a donation, you can either:

Note that I'm asking for your address so that I can send you a thank you after the trip.

Update: On May 8th my head was shaved at church. You can watch the video on YouTube. Thanks to everyone that made a contribution!
