Tight end Rob Gronkowski is one of the most active members of the New England Patriots when it comes to doing charity work in the community.

It's why he's showed up to training camp with a buzzed head for the past six seasons. Every June before camp starts, he participates in the One Mission Cancer Buzz Off at Gillette Stadium, which helps raise funds for children battling cancer.

This year, he's not alone in making a big deal of buzzing it all off for charity, and took a trip out to Western Mass. on Tuesday to show his appreciation.

According to WWLP, Gronkowski visited Sheffield Elementary School in Turners Falls along with One Mission staff to thank students for participating in their own Buzz Off event.

Students at the school rallied around classmate Dimitri Conway -- who is currently in remission after suffering from leukemia early on his life -- to raise $17,000 for One Mission, WWLP reports.

Here's a clip of Gronkowski's visit:

One Mission is a pediatric cancer charity that has raised $7 million to support over 7,000 children who are battling cancer and their families since 2009. The 2017 One Mission Cancer Buzz Off is set to take place June 4 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. You can make donations to One Mission on their website,
