FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had his head shaved as part of the One Mission Buzz Off at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
The event, in its eighth year (it was Gronk's sixth consecutive), has raised more than $7 million for children with cancer. To date, more than 5,000 heads have been shaved at the Buzz Off. Gronkowski's appearance often is one of the highlights.
After having his head shaved Sunday, he assumed the role of barber and shaved others' heads.
