Annual Buzz-Off Supports Cancer Research

On Wednesday at a lunchtime gathering in Bayley Seton Auditorium, dozens of students and several teachers offered up their locks to the shears of a dozen guest barbers to raise money for cancer research. Spurred on by Director of Service Learning Vinnie McMahon, the 8th Annual Buzz-Off, parlayed with the February Tag Day, raised more than $5500. The funds will be distributed among the Valerie Fund, Leukemia & Lymphoma Socciety, American Cancer Society and Minnett’s Angels. Spearheading the effort were Prep seniors Garret Fitschen, Jackson Kashuba, Danny Mottesi and junior Ian Schwartz. The volunteer barbers included Krista and Gregory Turchiano CP'20, Erica Vitale, Terrence Sekel CP '21, Marie Guarnuccio CP '20, Damian Schwartz CP '21, Sandy Ronzo, Andrea Russo-Freijomil CP '21, Eva Betro CP '20 and Buzz-Off veteran William Babcock.
