The players showed their support by not only spraying their own heads, but by shaving and spraying the mall shoppers as well.
Test tickets to the upcoming Proteas vs Australia matches were given to those who supported the Shavathon.
The incredible community support, the hard work from the volunteers of Westville Boys’ High School and Hollywood Bets Dolphins Cricket team, helped raise R6 250 for CANSA.
Eight ponytails were also donated to make wigs for patients.
Westville Mall’s marketing manager, Kellie Ettmayr, said, “We were overwhelmed by the support from the community and local schools this year. We would like to thank the Westville community, WBHS, who were incredibly motivated, excited and hardworking in raising funds for the organisation, as well as the support shown by the Hollywood Dolphins Cricket team for all they did to raise awareness and funds for the worthy cause.”
