Tru Cutz in Saratoga Springs host their first fundraiser

In his first fundraiser, Lamont Washington Jr. is rebranding the term “big shave” and putting dollar sign around it.

Each dollar made will go to St. Baldrick’s foundation, an organization that funds cancer research – a topic Washington holds close to his heart.

He lost his sister to Leukemia 12 years ago on Christmas day.

But he has used his sister story to shed light on the countless children fighting cancer.

“I always wanted to do something to honor my sisters memory. What better way than to raise money to fund something that possibly save lives – that will save lives,” said Washington.
