Last month, my colleague, David, wrote a great post about all the "athon" events Firstgiving has seen over the years.  Though walkathons, marathons and bikeathons, tend to top the list, other favorites include Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin Tae Kwon Do Board Break-a-Thon, Twin Cities Huntington’s Disease Society of America Hoop-a-Thon, New York Writers Coalition Write-a-Thon and Child Health Services Scrap-a-Thon.  We’ve got a new one to add to the list: Salon Cut-a-thon, which was held to benefit the Cancer Program at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital.

Held on March 1st, the cut-a-thon raised over $1,600 through 45 haircuts and 26 manicures.  Read more about it here.  If you’re in the neighborhood of Ware, Massachusetts, read about their annual Walk of Champions and how to get involved here.
