Buzzing for Change (B4C) is a one-day hair shaving extravaganza where participants are sponsored to shave their heads, or cut their hair. People are encouraged to participate in any way that they feel comfortable, with activities ranging from buzzing their hair to volunteering at the event. Unlike most charities, the proceeds from B4C are used to enrich the lives of children living with cancer today, instead of funding cancer research. One hundred percent of the money raised at the event is going to be donated to the pediatric oncology center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and all of the hair will be donated to Locks of Love.
