Where Your Fundraising Goes

Thanks to the funds raised by participants like you last year, One Mission supported more than 4,000 kids fighting cancer and their families by providing:

10,800 Parking Passes

easing the cost and worry of frequent and expensive hospital parking.

114 Special Occasion Parties

allowing children to celebrate and still be kids, even while living in the hospital.

500 Music Therapy Sessions

lifting spirits and supporting emotional healing and expression.

150 Family Catered Meals

like Taco Tuesday or Pizza Night, where families gather over a delicious meal.

Why Buzz?

Children and families dealing with cancer experience anguish that is all-encompassing and essentially invisible to those outside the hospital corridors.

By shaving your head, in less than five minutes you can show them they are not alone and that others really do care.



The Buzz Off Story



No hair. No eyelashes.

My HERO.

When One Mission founder Ashley Haseotes’ son lost his hair due to cancer treatment, she found herself overwhelmed with worry about how the world would treat him. She braced herself for the stares, the pity, and the awkward comments – because they came.

For her son, Nicholas, though, losing his hair wasn’t a big deal at all. At just seven months old, he didn’t understand what was happening.

For many of the families around them during treatment at Boston Children’s Hospital, hair loss was the BIGGEST challenge they faced, often more difficult than the treatment itself.

The Buzz Off Story

No hair. No eyelashes.

My HERO.

When One Mission’s founder, Ashley Haseotes’ son lost his hair from cancer treatment, she found herself so anxious about how the world would treat him. She was dreading the stares, pity, and awkward things people would say—because they did! For her son, Nicholas, losing his hair was not that big of a deal, because at 7 months old, he didn’t know what was going on.

For many of the families who were around them during their treatment at Boston Children’s Hospital, hair loss was the BIGGEST issue they dealt with during treatment.
