Tom Brady gets buzz cut to help raise $6.5 million for cancer charity
- Tom Brady "shaved" his head, although most would say it was more accurately "buzzed."
- The haircut was part of a charity endeavor that helped raise $6.5 million.
- Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker had his head shaved too, but he is not Tom Brady.
QUINCY, Mass. (AP) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady got a buzz cut for a cancer research institute.
Brady was the mystery guest at Thursday's "Saving by Shaving" annual fundraiser for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston (see video below).
Brady showed off his new look on Instagram after his long, brown hair was shaved down with a razor.
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker had his head shaved too.
Granite Telecommunications holds the event at its headquarters in Quincy, Massachusetts. The company pledged to give over $5 million to the cancer institute if 1,000 people shaved their heads or beards.
Granite Telecommunications says 1,200 people participated and it'll contribute $6.5 million for its fifth annual event.
Brady says it was an honor to join the fun and support the great work of Dana-Farber.
