Shave Your Lid for a Kid
Shave Your Lid for a Kid® is Kids Cancer Care’s largest fundraising initiative, raising more than $9 million since its inception in 1998. Our shave program is successful because of you. Each year, hundreds of Albertans shave their heads for our kids. This bold move shows moral support for the kids who lose their hair during cancer treatments, while raising money for camp, research, hospital and scholarship programs for young people affected by cancer. Not part of a group or event? No worries! Our partners at Great Clips offer a complimentary shave or haircut to anyone who registers as an individual for Shave Your Lid for a Kid. You can visit one of their many Calgary and area locations to get your head shaved for free! More details will be sent when you register! - See more at: http://www.kidscancercare.ab.ca/get-involved/shave-your-lid-for-a-kid#sthash.w6sk7XCi.dpuf
