When is Shavathon held?
National CANSA Shavathon is usually held during the 1st week and weekend of March.
What do you do at Shavathon?
Shavathon is an opportunity to show solidarity with cancer survivors by shaving your head or spray painting your hair and making use of fun stencils to add to your exciting new look! A fee of R50-00 (adults) and R25-00 (children under 12 yrs) is charged for this privilege.
Why do we shave & spray?
Shavathon is a a time to honour those fighting cancer and also to honour loved ones who have passed on and is an opportunity to actively join in the fight against cancer with other members of the public.
Shavathon 2010 brought in a whopping R5,8-million - so let's spread the word, let the hair fly and create a rainbow with our hair to raise even more this year - and in doing so, making CANSA’s unique and integrated service to you the public, possible.
Come on - make it a family affair! Find out more at www.shavathon.org.za
