How it works

Once you’ve decided who’s getting clipped, dyed or waxed, set up your Hair Thing by clicking the link above.

Our events team review your event to check it meets our fundraising guidelines and supports the aims of Cancer Council - there’s unlikely to be any problem. We then send you a letter authorising you to raise funds on behalf of Cancer Council, plus Hair Thing promotional material - posters & invitations to use to publicise your event.

After that, you can set up an online fundraising page especially for your Hair Thing. As well as collecting donations supporting the event, this page can monitor attendees, and provide running totals for you and your supporters. Click here to see a demo.

Once your Hair Thing is over, we’ll send you a letter of thanks with the amount raised, plus a certificate for you to keep and share with your event attendees, team of helpers & donors.

MARK'S BIG SHAVE MAKES ORDINARY, EXTRAORDINARY!

Mark Youngberry is an ordinary bloke who decided to shave off his hair and beard to raise funds for Cancer Council. So far, so normal. However, word quickly spread and the whole neighbourhood became involved. Everyone wanted to shave their hair or dye it! Even the small raffle turned into a big event with over 60 prizes up for grabs and the local media and Bowling Club helping out. Mr Ordinary’s Big Shave turned into an extraordinary community event and raised $10,450.
