Going Bald For A Cause On March 14, 2008, Ian Laperriere participated in the St. Baldrick's Foundation Event at Fado Irish Pub in Denver. He and teammates Ben Guite and John-Michael Liles, along with Avalanche Assistant Coach Tony Granato, had their heads shaved to help raise awareness and funds for children's cancer.
Lappy and his teammates shaved their heads in honor of Jake Cohen, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma at age 1.

He is now in remission after six rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.
Scott Parker and other Avalanche players had their heads shaved at a separate St. Baldrick's Event at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. Scott also shaved his goatee which he'd had since age 15.
