PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - It's time for congratulations and to break out the hair clippers for the Pitt long snapper!

On Wednesday, Cal Adomitis' "Cal's Kids" fundraiser for UPMC Children's Hospital passed the $94,000 goal.

The deal: raise $94,000 and he would cut his hair.

Wednesday afternoon, the goal was reached and his long locks aren't long for this world.

So now, just one question remains - when's the salon appointment?

Congratulations to Cal and all the fundraisers.
