You Little Beauty. Join the World's Greatest Shave with your school

Bring your school community together for a great cause and empower your students to create real impact. It's an unforgettable school experience – and you'll change the lives of Australians facing blood cancer right now.

Get your school friends together and fundraise for the Leukaemia Foundation's World's Greatest Shave

Why take part

Blood cancer strikes young. It’s the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian children, having a big impact on students and schools across the country.

Blood cancer keeps children stuck in hospital, away from their families and friends. Away from their education. Away from their future.

Every year, hundreds of schools across Australia step up to take on the World's Greatest Shave. Some even make it an annual tradition.

By rallying a team of staff and students, you'll join a community of schools determined to shape a brighter future for blood cancer patients and their families. Students learn valuable life lessons on empathy, leadership, and community service.

Every dollar your school raises will help provide families with practical and emotional support to get them through the many challenges that blood cancer can bring. And you'll power Australia's brightest research minds, bringing us closer to our goal of zero lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.

Bring your students and staff together for the ultimate school team experience – and be part of an incredible campaign for change.
