Chip and Joanna Gaines, stars of HGTV’s Fixer Upper, recently collaborated with Target to renovate the dining room at St. Jude Target House. Chip also promised to cut his hair if the couple’s social media followers raised $25,000 for the hospital.
The public rose to the challenge, raising $230,000. After unveiling the Target House renovation, Chip fulfilled his part of the bargain by shaving his head—to the delight of fans, as well as patients and families of St. Jude.
