When Bobby Menges underwent chemotherapy in 2016 everyone in the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity shaved their heads in solidarity. After Bobby passed away, Pike created Shave and Buzz, an annual fundraiser to honor Bobby's legacy and support young cancer patients like him.

In rememberence of Bobby Menges I will be shaving my head this Saturday to raise money for The I'm Not Done Yet Foundation, which supports adolescent and young adult cancer patients at the Duke University Medical Center and the Duke Cancer Institute. 

The annual Shave & Buzz fundraising events have involved many in the Duke and greater Durham communities.  Originally begun in 2016 by members of PIKE to support their fraternity brothers, Mark Schreiber and Bobby Menges who were simultaneously undergoing cancer treatment,  the tradition continues to grow.  100% of the funds raised at the Shave & Buzz support programs and services for adolescents and young adults (AYA) at the Duke University Medical Center and the Duke Cancer Institute.

"I remember talking to Bobby about his dreams for the future of this event. He spoke about how he hoped that the legacy of this fundraiser would carry on past his graduation from Duke, until people didn’t have any idea who he or Schreiber were. Unfortunately, we lost our good friend Bobby this past fall to his battle with cancer. However, his legacy and the lives he touched will be sure to live on in strength."  -Michael, 2018
