The event took place at Benmore Gardens Shopping Centre on 27 February and saw scores of children and adults getting their hair sprayed, shaved or simply making a donation in support of the association.
Janine Gossman, centre manager of Benmore Gardens, expressed gratitude at the generous amount raised, which will be used to provide a service to the public and those affected by cancer. “It was busier than last year with a really nice vibe created by the MC, and some people were very generous with their donations. Three people cut off their ponytails and in a gutsy move, one lady shaved her head,” Gossman added.
This year’s Shavathon, held annually since 2003, took place from 27 to 28 February across all shopping centres.
