Shave for the Brave News

 

Thanks Mount Pearl Senior High!

Posted on Mar 23, 2010

Twelve brave students shaved their heads at Mount Pearl Senior High School today. They are definitely all brave, but recognize that the Shave is FOR the brave, and the symbolic action of shaving their heads is truly for the young adults dealing with cancer in Canada who need the important support programs that Young Adult Cancer Canada (YACC) provides.

Big thanks to each shaver and to their Head Hunter Cheryl Walsh (teacher) for putting off an energetic Shave event and helping to raise more than $1,000 for the cause.  This is enough to send one deserving young adult on a 4-day life-changing weekend Retreat to share with others who “get it”.

Congratulations!

The Cause

  Since life is different when you’re a young adult, it makes sense that cancer is too.

Young Adult Cancer Canada aims to help every Canadian young adult dealing with cancer by offering programs to inspire, inform, support, and connect with other survivors.

All funds raised during the Shave for the Brave help us offer our programs at no cost to the young adult cancer patients and survivors who truly need them.
