Troy Polamalu is heading a fundraiser in an effort to help raise money for the VFW, and raise awareness for veterans causes. The program is called The VFW Mane Event and Troy has promised to cut his hair for the first time in ten years. How much of a trim Troy will get isn’t exactly clear. Originally Troy told organizers that the cut would total 10 inches, but earlier today, Troy said it would be a “ceremonial cut”. Either way, it’s a great idea and a great gesture by Troy. The cause has already raised $34,000 and there’s just under a couple months remaining. You can watch the promo video below and read more about the Mane Event here: http://www.vfwmaneevent.org/

Updated- Troy was on NFL Total Access Friday night, and said he would be cutting off a lock of his hair.
