<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHomman is a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Each year, the FHSU Sigma Chi chapter hosts the \u201cShave-a-Sig\u201d fundraiser where students can bid to shave the heads of chapter members. The event is put in place to donate to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation, a cancer research facility based out of Utah. This year, Sigma Chi\u2019s goal is to raise $10,000 \u2013 the highest goal the chapter has ever had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a post on his Twitter account from Feb. 27, a day before the shaving, Homman recalled how much his \u201cgolden locks\u201d meant to him. On the day of the event, he said the experience was nerve-wracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe last time I had hair this short I was eight or nine years old,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it really puts it into perspective what cancer does to an individual.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Homman, this act of charity has some personal ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCancer has affected me tremendously,\u201d he said. \u201cMy mother has beat cancer, and I also have a cousin who is currently battling cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homman said he and his fraternity brothers want to be the \u201cgeneration to end cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of now, the chapter has raised $2,500 for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation – $1,400 of that coming from the \u201cShave-a-Sig\u201d fundraiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf anyone is interested in donating to this cause, I\u2019d recommend getting in touch with me or any active Sigma Chi member,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Homman also said to keep an eye out for future events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis semester is filled with fundraisers and dinners to help us reach our goal,\u201d he said. \u201cReaching out means a lot to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
