A PSA - don't miss it
I will be emceeing this event as well so if you feel like sponcering me, you can use the donate button on the right side of this page.. Please make a note that you are sending the money for Balding for Dollars..
In less than 2 weeks there will be a whole lot more bald people roaming around Whistler as the community gears up for a milestone 5th annual Balding for Dollars event on Sunday April 1st at the Garibaldi Lift Company.
Balding for Dollars is a province-wide fundraiser in support of children with cancer at BC Children's Hospital. Anyone brave enough to have their head shaved and fundraise through collecting pledges is welcome to take part. Past participants include men, women and children from around Whistler and the Sea to Sky Corridor.
Organized by Whistler Friends, a local grass-roots fundraising group, this is one event not to be missed. “We already have 3 ladies confirmed to be shaving their heads, along with numerous men” says Dave Clark, one of the organizers. Clark and his wife Wendy, who began organizing this event 5 years ago, are thrilled to bringing the event back, and hoping to reach a milestone in fundraising. “We are hoping to go over the $100,000 mark in total cumulative fundraising with this upcoming event. We raise money for BC Children’s Hospital, and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada, 2 foundations that are close to our hearts” say the Clarks. With the recent arrival of their first child, the event this year is particularly special.
Local Whistler Après Legends "The Hairfarmers" will be entertaining the crowd with renditions of everyone's favorite songs. Rumor has it that Guitar Doug will be having his beard shaved off in the spirit of the event. Shaving will begin at 3:30pm by Amanda Stocks of the Blackcomb Barber Shop, so be sure to get there early with your pledges as there will only be a limited number of "barber stools" available. There will be some great prizes, including one from Four Seasons Resort Whistler, Outdoor Adventures Whistler, Trout Country Fishing Guides, 2 Vancouver Canuck Tickets, plus many more.
