Raising Funds for The Child Cancer Foundation through a hair chop!

Hawke's Bay

I have been growing my hair for a long time with a view to cutting it to raise money. I am a Year 13 student at Napier Girls High School and have arranged for my hair to be cut by a friend at school in the lunch hour on October 29th. This is another way to raise extra funds as a gold coin donation for those that wish to attend. I hope this will inspire other students to do the same in the future and support this amazing organisation.

I have seen how The Child Cancer Foundation can help young people and their families and I would love to help support others in their time of need.

At the completion of the cut, approximately 35cm of hair will be sent to Freedom Wigs in Auckland. This will hopefully help a child needing a wig while having treatment.

Thank you!

The Child Cancer Foundation has helped many children nationwide. I feel these children and their families deserve all the help we can give.

40+ cm cut!  29 October 2019

Hi all, thank you very much to those who have donated. I am happy to say I have well in truly passed my initial goal of $500 and am currently at $1,160!! Today roughly 40cm was cut at school in our lunch break with roughly $360 from door donations. Pushing the total donation to $1,520. Donations close at the end of this month for anyone who is still willing to donate. It is definitely going to take some getting used to but well and truly worth it with no regrets at all! Once again, thank you very much for your support, greatly appreciated.
