Jerry Kill isn't going to miss a chance to make an impact.

On Monday, more than 100 people involved with Minnesota athletics shaved their heads at an event to raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer research. Student-athletes, coaches and support staff were among the participants.

Kill himself is a survivor of kidney cancer, so you knew he would be involved. The Gopher football Twitter account posted a photo of Kill getting ready to have his head shaved. Below also is a video of the event.
