McDowall OHSC Innaugral Greatest Shave Fundraiser

McDowall OHSC is incredibly excited to announce our first-ever year undertaking the World’s Greatest Shave! This year, we seek to raise $5,000 to assist the Leukemia Foundation in funding the battle against blood cancer.

A number of our fantastic educators are putting their hair on the line by allowing select children from our service to shave, cut, or dye their hair! The more money we raise, the more educators will participate!

The final cut day will occur on Thursday, December 5th, in week 10. More information on the event details will be available soon, including the selection process for children! Due to health and safety requirements, cutting and shaving will only be available for seniors and at the educators' discretion.

Q: "Why is this fundraiser important?"

A: It's a fun way for children and our OHSC community to get involved collaboratively in raising money for an important cause. It's also a great opportunity for the OHSC staff to connect with parents in a meaningful way.

This project is directly linked to OHSC Quality Area Element 6.2: Collaborative partnerships enhance children’s inclusion, learning, and wellbeing. It is also aligned with Outcome Two of My Time Our Place: Children are connected with and contribute to their world.

Q: "So, how can I get involved?"

A: By donating, sharing, and encouraging our educators who are participating!

Donating and sharing are key! The more sponsors we receive, the bigger and crazier this event can be. We are so excited to step out of our comfort zones and make a positive impact together as an OHSC community.

Q: "Why should we donate to this event?"

A: Donating is a fantastic way to get involved with our OHSC community in a meaningful way! Also remembering that all donations over $2 are tax deductible! 

Q: "What will happen if we do not meet our donation target?"

A: On the unfortunate event that we do not meet our donation target all proceeds will still be donated to the Leukemia Foundation. The target is just a goal for the community to attempt to achieve together.  

Q: "How can find out more information or stay up to date?" 

A: Please send any inquiries to leaded@mcdowallsspc.org.au or come speak to any of our wonderful educators! Alternatively stay tuned to our donation page here, or follow our Facebook page @ https://www.facebook.com/McDowallSSOSHC
