Local volunteer Dave Silver of The Yellow Ribbon Club is partnering with fellow Yellow Ribbon Club volunteer, Jim Ewen to raise funds and awareness for The Yellow Ribbon Club, a local U.S. Troop support non-profit 501©(3) organization.
Yellow Ribbon Club member Ewen, otherwise known to friends and family as “Jarhead Jim” who served in The U.S. Marines Corps., has often said he wanted to give Silver a true “Jarhead” style Marine type hair cut.
Silver has long run away from Jim’s offers of the Marine style hair cut. Via the idea of raising funds for The Yellow Ribbon Club, Silver will allow Ewen to give him the ‘high and tight’ style hair cut if the total amount exceeds $1,000. Donations can be made through Paypal at a special link on The Yellow Ribbon Club’s website www.yellowribbonclub.org or via personal check/money order mailed to The Yellow Ribbon Club at P.O. Box 1385, Evesham, N.J. 08053. Donators should include the word “HAIR” in the memo section of their Paypal payment or their check/money order. One hundred percent of all proceeds would be used to help The Yellow Ribbon Club with their shipping expenses of care packages to those deployed to Afghanistan.
Friends and family of both Silver and Ewen are convinced that there are plenty of people in the community that would donate to a good cause in The Yellow Ribbon Club as well as to see Silver with a “new hair style”. On Sunday, May 6, The Yellow Ribbon Club will be hosting a fund-raising event consisting of a buffet style dinner, cash bar, and a comedy night at Marco’s at Indian Spring Country Club in Evesham. It will be at this dinner event where the haircut will take place and friends and family can witness and enjoy Ewen fulfilling his wish of providing such a hair cut. Generous donators can witness the hair cut ceremony and attend the dinner by buying tickets at The Yellow Ribbon Club’s website.
