Veritas College raises money for cancer at the shavathon
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 bailout fee have become options for those who prefer not to shave, or who can’t shave on the day.
