A gold coin donation is sought to celebrate NZ's transition into lockdown level 1. All proceeds will go to worthy suicide related charities.
Nationwide
"You" decide if the beard should stay or go ... $1 donation = Shave, $2 donation = Grow.
Any other denominations of higher amounts can have their vote cast either way, by simply leaving a Shave or Grow comment when making your donation.
My caveat to the above, is a 6x month maximum of the beard being grown post lockdown level 1 being achieved.
So0o ... Having entered into lockdown several weeks ago now in NZ, shaving became a bit less of a priority for me at the time. Before I knew it my usual clean shaven face had grown a lil bit of stubble. Which quickly transformed into bum fluff, then quickly morphed into a beard. I considered my beard to be a specific lockdown related initiative, which should only change when lockdown in NZ has ended. A passive protest of sorts if you like. However, as lockdown level 0 could still be quite a period of time away, I thought that transitioning to lockdown level 1 would be a more appropriate milestone for me to celebrate with a shave instead. You will note that I have deliberately dyed my beard liberally with grey, to further enhance both my distinguished appearance & also this donation promotion ... ahem.
Any other bearded brothers out there are more than welcome to join this noteworthy cause ... or any members of the sisterhood, whose legs may not have seen a razor in a while too.
Feel free to share & promote.
Shavedown Showdown for Lockdown Countdown
Having known a few people to succumb to suicide, I thought that I would like to do a page to help support the organisations that may prevent this from occurring to others.
Thanks Marcele! ... I really appreciate you getting in behind & supporting this fundraiser initiative. Simply Awesome!
Sorry for the delay in transacting this grow donation match - I ended up locked out for donating too much & had to get someone else to match this on my behalf. Sorted now though.
Thanks very much for your generous donation Vicky! - Really awesome to see you get in behind this fundraiser! Cheers!
Thank you very muchly for your kind donation! Very much appreciated!
You're going to be broke very soon at this rate Brad. Are you sure you want to do this?
