THE 16th national CANSA Shavathon, independently managed by CANSA staff and volunteers will take place at Bluff Towers on Saturday, 2 March as well as at Groomsman Salon at Bluff Hillside Mall on Sunday, 3 March.
CANSA Shavathon is one of South Africa’s best-loved events in support of a very worthy cause, namely showing solidarity with those affected by cancer.
Losing one’s hair is a common side-effect of cancer therapy – so shaving your head has become a symbolic gesture of support for cancer survivors.
Colouring your hair or paying a bail-out fee are options for those who prefer not to shave, or who can’t shave on the day.
For those who like to be actively engaged and to make a difference, Shavathon embraces volunteers. Their support is invaluable.
