Marist Brothers Linmeyer in partnership with Cancer Association of South Africa’s (CANSA) hosted the annual Shavathon fundraising event at The Glen. Shoppers and their families and friends shaved, colour sprayed and cut their hair to support cancer survivors. Adults contributed a fee of R50 for either hair cut, spray or shaved while children under 12 years contributed R25.

Palesa Malebo (High School Leader), Mr Andisa Kani (Matric Class of 2000), Mr Nondas Marantos (Matric Class of 1973), Mrs Claire Rieker (HOD Commerce and ICT), Jennifer Cumming (Chairperson), Byron Pearson (Chairperson) and Dibate Sentso (High School Leader).

Some shoppers also made monetary donations and two shoppers donated 25 cm of their hair towards cancer patients. It was a special event, filled with generosity. All funds raised will go directly towards providing CANSA’s education and screening initiatives, as well as care and support service to cancer patients and loved ones. Marist Brothers Linmeyer extends gratitude to everyone (barbers, staff, alumni and students) who selflessly gave their time to support this wonderful initiative.
