Local CEO goes bald - for a cause

Bouchard Insurance CEO Doug Bishop has something in common with Tampa Bay Rays Manager Joe Maddon: Both have shaved their heads in support of cancer research.

Bishop's shave took place April 10, part of the Tampa Bay Cut For a Cure Charity Challenge. Bishop, joined in head-shave with his 9-year-old son, Nate Bishop, designated the funds raised from the shave to the Vinny Lecavalier Foundation. Lecavalier is a center for the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning, and a longtime supporter of local children's charities.

“I love the concept,” Bishop, based in Clearwater, tells Coffee Talk. “It was a great experience, for a great cause.”
