The Arnold S. Leonard Cancer Research Fund was the beneficiary of a
terrific pile of hair shaved from the head of Bowhunter Magazine founder
and pro-hunting spokesman Marion "M.R." James and of $25,000 that bowhunters
attending the 2002 AMO Archery Trade Show contributed to watch as the shearing
took place.
| Bowhunters at the AMO
Archery Trade Show in Nashville in January raised $25,000 to watch as Patty
Brady of Archery Business Magazine shaved the head of Bowhunter Magazine
founder and pro-hunting spokesman Marion "M.R." James - bald. "Fine," M.R.
laughed, "with this kind of money going to cancer research, it's worth
it!" |

"M.R. was the perfect person to allow his head to be shaved to raise money
for cancer research," says Michele Musacchia Crummer of Muzzy Products.
Michele, who is co-chair of the Research Fund, worked with Fund Chairman
Rob Evans to entice the affable and hairy bowhunter into the shearing lounge.
"He was a great sport and I would like to thank him and recognize the pledges
from significant contributors:
$ 5,000 Ted Nugent
$ 5,000 Sims Vibration Labs
$ 5,000 Muzzy Products
$ 3,500 Mathews Archery
$ 6,500 Cash and pledges collected at
the AMO Banquet.
M.R. James, the founder
of Bowhunter Magazine
"The Arnold S. Leonard Cancer Research Fund was begun by bowhunter and
researcher Arnold Leonard to study the ability of genetic engineering to
bolster a person's immune system," says Rob Evans, the internationally
recognized bowhunter who brought the fund's needs to the attention of archers.
"We as hunters have an opportunity to make a difference. With the funds
generated by M.R.'s generous donation of curly locks and funding raised
by our annual Driven Pheasant Shoot, we estimate that hunters, mostly bowhunters,
have raised nearly $3 million for cancer research."
