Sherry Smith is sporting a new look after having her head shaved at the One Mission Buzz Off at Globe Life Stadium on April 23.

The event brings together participants who shave their heads in honor of kids with cancer. Those who take part raise funds by collecting money from family and friends who sponsor their participation.

Smith, 57, and her husband, Tommy, are Bowie residents. Smith moved to Texas from California 18 years ago with her daughters Kristin and Kari. Smith works as a senior operational co-manager for Kroger.

It was on her morning commute that she heard a radio commercial for the Buzz Off event. She immediately called her close friend to tell her she wanted to participate in celebration of her friends’ goddaughter, Ne’Veah, who battled retinal blastoma after being diagnosed at the age of three.

Ne’Vaeh is now 11 years old and in perfect health after having one surgery for her glass eye, which Smith explains will need to be replaced as Ne’Vaeh gets older.

The event is not the first or even second time Smith has shaved her head in honor of a loved one who has battled cancer.
