Welcome to World's Greatest Shave 2009
What
The Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave is one of Australia’s biggest fundraising events. 100,000 people across the country will shave or colour their hair.
Why not be brave and shave? Don’t go it alone – start a team today.
How
Ask family, friends or workmates to sponsor you. In return for their donation they will get to see you with brightly coloured hair or no hair at all!
Why
The funds you raise will help the Leukaemia Foundation to continue providing practical care and support to patients and families living with leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma and related blood disorders. It will also fund research into better treatments and hopefully cures.
Who
Take part with a team of friends, workmates or club members if you can.
As team captain you’re responsible for setting the team’s fundraising goal, recruiting more team members and keeping the enthusiasm going in the lead up to the day when everyone shaves or colours their hair. If you’re ‘going it alone’ that’s fine too!
When
Most people shave between 12 - 14 March 2009. However you can take part at anytime to suit you.
Where
Most teams arrange their own shave event at home or work. If you want to shave in front of a crowd, the Leukaemia Foundation also organises some events which are open to the public.
