The Demon Barber of Taranaki Street

Over the last few weeks and months, the Memorial Park Alliance has been fundraising to help our friend and colleague Mike and his wife Margaux in their fight against multiple sclerosis. This latest initiative is part of our ongoing fundraising efforts, please give generously.

The Demon Barber is visiting the Memorial Park Alliance and has victims in sight. Several staff members have been identified as sacrifices, and a gradual balding of the office will take place as the funding meets the required amount for each victim.

$1,000 Russell Obee becomes a blonde

$2,000 Russell gets a cut

$4,000 Dave Gedney dyes his hair back to natural colour

$4,500 Dave's hair is gone

$5,000 Ed Breese dyes his hair - the colour is up for negotiation

$5,500 Ed tries out the shaved head look

$6,000 Duncan Kenderdine looses his hair to the barber

$7,000 Carys Everett gets a drastic hair cut

$9,000 Michelle Knappstein sacrifices her head of hair

If you really feel strongly that an individual shouldn't shave their head - we have an anti-shave option. Which will work as follows - when you donate money, include a comment that it is an “anti-shave contribution” for a particular person. The funds required for that person to shave their head will be increased based on that amount, for example: If Chris would like to donate money for Dave not to shave his head, and gives $50, the value at which Dave is subjected to the Demon shears is increased to $4,550.

We will also be looking to auction off the shaving duties too, so if you are in Wellington and keen to become our very own Demon Barber - watch this space :)
