Before Rebecca passed, her older sister Carolyn requested help [1] to raise money for childhood cancer research by participating in a shave-a-thon.

I was slightly upset to see she only got to 90% ($10,443 of $11,500) of her goal [2] -I guess I'm hoping the internet can step up and help (I believe we can still add donations after the event).

Edit: I'd point out that "The family requests charitable donations be made in Rebecca’s name to the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House [3] or the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. [1]", however I think it's important for Carolyn to know her earlier actions specifically were and continue to be worthy of support and respect.
