For the fifth year in a row, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski participated in the One Mission Cancer Buzz Off event by getting a hair cut.

Gronk has taken part in the event for the past six years, shaving his head in the last five, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss.

"This is just an unbelievable event," Gronkowski said while a pair of kids gave him his annual hair cut. "Just seeing kids, what they're going through, puts a feeling in you that you want to help them out. You want to raise awareness for all the kids going through the hard times, the struggles, to know that there's someone there at all times for them."
