Support CANSA Shavathon
CANSA ups the ante for its 12th annual CANSA Shavathon this weekend
THE Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) will hold its 12th annual Shavathon at local shopping centres, including Musgrave Centre, Davenport Centre, City View Shopping Centre and Value Centre, as well as Suncoast Casino on Saturday, 28 February and Sunday, 1 March from 9am to 4pm.
People will have the opportunity to shave their hair, donate their ponytail of 25cm in length (which will go toward making wigs for cancer patients in need), buy a CANSA wrap or spray their hair.
CANSA has created a range of trendy new stencils that will be used for anyone of all ages interested in spraying their hair. The spray used is made from vegetable dye and is safe to use. It lasts only a day and washes out easily.
The cost of R50 for adults and R25 for children under 12 years old with be donated to fund the care and support programmes that CANSA offers, mainly rendered at CANSA Care Centres.
“The Shavathon is such a fun way to get involved in the fight against cancer, by shaving, spraying, ‘wrapping’ or donating your hair. We encourage people to get their colleagues, family and friends ready for the Shavathon 2015,” said Elize Joubert, CANSA’s acting CEO.
