Thank You

Another year has come and gone for our annual Hair Massacure event. We are grateful for every participant, volunteer, group and company that has helped make the 10th Annual Hair Massacure a huge success.

We could not accomplish the things we do if it weren't for our generous Sponsors, Entertainers, Photographers, Security, Salons and Stylists. Not to mention our Captains, Co-Captains and the many volunteers who put in countless hours the days and months before, during and after our event.

Most importantly, we could not forget all of the participants who fundraised, pinked and/or shaved their heads to bring a face (or head) to help further our event. These participants were not only individual participants but they were Schools and Teams who came together to use their combined forces to raise even more awareness. These Schools and Teams make up well over ½ of our final total at Hair Massacure. We wish to send out our deepest thanks to all of you!

Special Thanks

We would like to give a HUGE thank you to our Edmonton Oilers- Ryan Jones - for starting his "Save the Flow" campaign. Edmonton fans rallied around our forward and raised the money to help him keep his much loved locks rather than see them shaved off. A very special thank you goes to the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and Edmonton Oilers- Lennart Petrell, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and Anton Lander - for their willingness to shave off their hair in support of the Hair Massacure and in keeping tradition with our Oilers participation on an annual basis.

FC Edmonton, Edmonton's NASL team, also brought amazing support, recognition and a new twist to our Event. They whole-heartedly pinked, shaved and fundraised in support of the Hair Massacure's mandate of raising money to help children with life threatening illnesses. They even came to Ronald McDonald House in Edmonton to pink their hair alongside several resident families. This provided a fun-filled afternoon and much needed distraction to these families.

We truly appreciate the time that our local sports teams share with us to bring more recognition to the Hair Massacure. It is through this example that we were proud to have several Minor Hockey and sports teams follow suit and participate in our Hair Massacure.

Much planning and support goes into the Hair Massacure and we would like to thank all those who helped make this Event our most successful event to date. While every effort is made to ensure all credit goes to everyone possible please excuse us if we have forgotten to add your name to our lists. If you have not been included on one of these lists please contact our Project Coordinator immediately at lritchie@hairmassacure.com.

Wait!!! There are more people to thank!

Benefits of our cause

A headshave allows us to understand one small component of cancer - hair loss. Children's hair loss often results in a weakened self esteem. Our aim is to inspire every man, woman and child to recognize the urgency of the decline in health in our youth and make necessary steps in making a difference.
