Larry’s Head Shaving Initiave – Total Raised So Far: $1840.00

At its roots the Cops for Cancer movement featured cops shaving their heads to show their support for the kids who are battling cancer. Our CEO, Larry Stevenson, wants to show his personal support for these kids and will be getting his head shaved at the event. Larry is hoping to raise over $5000 for the kids and we hop you can help him reach his goal! Heavy D’s Barbershop, located at 1420 Wingrove Street in Departure Bay Beach, has generously offered to donate their time and barber skills to our event! Heavy D, himself, will be shaving Larry’s head! If you would like to have your head shaved at the event, donations will be accepted day of.
