Tom Brady and Charlie Baker got their heads shaved for a good cause

In a surprise appearance Thursday morning, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady buzzed off his luscious locks in front of a cheering crowd to support Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Billed as a “mystery guest,” Brady — along with Gov. Charlie Baker and over 1,000 others — participated in the fifth annual “Saving by Shaving” at the Granite Telecommunications offices in Quincy. Red Sox President Sam Kennedy and Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch were also in attendance.

Granite has raised nearly $18 million for cancer research through the company’s many fundraisers over the past four years. It was Baker’s fourth “Saving by Shaving” appearance and Brady’s first.
