HOTS
HOTS has learned that Destination International’s own Don Welsh will soon be donning a new hairstyle — or the absence of one. That’s because the association leader has agreed to have his head completely shaved to benefit St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a nonprofit that raises funding for pediatric cancer research. Welsh will appear at the “Brave the Shave” event on March 22 in Indianapolis, where Leonard Hoops, Visit Indy’s President & CEO, and Chris Gahl, Visit Indy’s Sr. Vice President of Marketing & Communications, will do the honors. When HOTS checked before USAE went to press, just under $6,000 had been raised toward Welsh’s goal of $10,000. Those interested in donating may do so at https://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/1003719/2019. Go Don!
