The Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) 20th annual Shavathon fundraiser takes place at various shopping centres across the country on February 25, with certain venues also hosting events on February 26.

Shavathon is one of the highlights on the Cansa calendar bringing families, friends and colleagues in solidarity with cancer survivors. Shaving your hair or spraying it in a variety of colours requires a donation of R50 per adult and R25 for children under 12. Stencils are available to add fun designs when spraying hair and donations of hair can be made towards making a wig for cancer survivors.
Did you know? The first Shavathon took place at the ‘Crazy Zebra’ in Gqeberha in 2003. Hosted by a local biker group, the initiative was started to show support for a member affected by cancer and this is still the main focus of the event today.Although Shavathon is hosted once a year, Cansa’s services are ongoing. Being a non-profit organisation, Cansa is reliant on the kindness and generosity of donors and sponsors to continue with its service delivery across South Africa.1.
