?!?!? / Portland / Ethics Turkeys, Mohawks, and Money
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 4:32 PM
So this is one way to raise money for charity: Bishops Barbershop is teaming up with Radio Cab this year to provide Thanksgiving meals to families in need—something Radio's been doing since 1996. The deal with Bishops is that you just make a straight-up cash donation at any of their locations ($20 = a turkey 'n' fixins for one family). And for every $100 they raise a Radio Cab driver will let Bishops give them a mohawk. People, we need to do this. Can you imagine if Portland had an entire fleet of mohawk-ed cab drivers? How freaked out everyone visiting for the holidays will be?
Donations will be accepted through November 30th.
