Cuts for Cancer

On Thursday 10 March (in one week) at lunch time Year 12 will be cutting their hair for cancer through the World’s Greatest Shave which works together with the Leukemia Foundation to “shave the world free from blood cancer.” We know this cause is one close to the hearts of many members in the SCEGGS community. It is those people we hope to support most in the undertaking of our Cuts 4 Cancer initiative.

We have already fundraised over $5000 and would love to keep this figure rising. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.

This cutting of course cannot happen without hairdressers; the Murphy Gozzard Salon on Oxford Street has offered to organise some of the cutting and the donations of the actual hair. This is greatly appreciated by the whole year group.

The hairdressing salon is running a campaign SCEGGS has been involved with in the past called “Share the Dignity.” To thank Murphy Gozzard Salon for their help we would love also to support this charity, we will have a box in the Sports Hall on the day of the cut for donations of menstruation items for women across Australia.

We still need a few more hairdressers – if anyone knows anyone who could help, please contact Ms Rodda.

There are lots of ways Year 12s can help – volunteering to have their hair cut, or collecting money on the day, being involved in behind the scenes organisation and promotional activities, or encouraging support for the Leukemia Foundation or Share the Dignity. And everyone in the community can be involved by supporting one of these two great charities (or both!).

We are all so excited to build momentum behind this event and generate as much positivity from it as we can. To do this we will be running a CRAZY hair day on 9 March and we would love everyone to get involved and try and make their hair as crazy as possible (without coloured hairspray.)

Thank you so much in advance for all the support.
