Buccaneers GM JASON LICHT followed through with his pledge to "get his head shaved" after the team raised $130,000 as part of its "Cut for a Cure" fundraiser, according to Greg Auman of the TAMPA BAY TIMES. Bucs players, staff and a "newly-shorn Licht proudly held up an oversized check for $123,000." Bucs DT GERALD MCCOY then "took the microphone and promptly raised the total to an even $130,000." A "steady parade of Bucs players took turns getting a full shave or red dyed into their hair," including McCoy, QB JAMEIS WINSTON, LB LAVONTE DAVID, LT DONOVAN SMITH, G ALI MARPET and TE O.J. HOWARD. Bucs COO BRIAN FORD "got his head shaved," as did VP/Ticket Sales DENO ANAGNOST, a cancer survivor. Bucs Producer KIRSTEN PHILLIPS, who "convinced players to raise an extra $35,000 last year by shaving her head, was back for a red coloring" (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 6/4).
