30 Sep: Best Buy helps employees grow their families with adoption, surrogacy benefits

The nursery that Keegan Shoutz and his husband, Paul Schroepfer, decorated sat empty for a year.

They had a crib, a changing table and a rocking chair — but no baby. Still, they were hopeful that the adoption journey they began in 2016 would lead them to the family they desperately wanted.

“I had a ton of great memories from my childhood, like camping and horseback riding. I just really wanted to create a new set of memories like this with my own family,” Paul said.

27 Sep: Massachusetts employee shaves head to raise money for kids with cancer

At first, Daniel Guilmain Jr. began growing his hair out just because he wanted to.

Then he learned about a charity that raised money and support for kids with cancer. Participants shave their heads, as a sign of solidarity with the children, and ask people to contribute money for doing so.

Daniel had relatives who lost their lives to cancer, so the cause resonated with him.

Over the course of 10 months, he grew his hair out more than 5 inches.
