Story

When making a donation, please let us know in comments what DJ should do with his pink beard - SHAVE IT or SAVE IT!  If Shave it wins - then off goes the beard on November 1.  If Save it wins then DJ will save his beard until October 2022!

DJ Blankenship is a Yakima resident whose passion for raising funds for breast cancer began three years ago because of a dare. His co-workers on the bridge crew at the Yakima County Roads Department dared him to dye his beard pink, in honor of one of their crew members whose sister had breast cancer. DJ and his wife, Renee Blankenship, have raised nearly $6,000 since then in honor of the multiple women in their lives who have fought breast cancer.
