Organized by Whistler Friends, the fourth Balding for Dollars will take place at the Garibaldi Lift Company on Sunday, April 9.
Balding for Dollars is a
province-wide fundraiser in support of children with cancer at B.C. 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.
Whistler après ski legends The
Hairfarmers will be entertaining the crowd with renditions of everyone's
favorite songs. Head shaving by the staff from The Blackcomb Barber Shoppe will
begin at 3:30 p.m., 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 prizes
for the person with the most funds raised and some secret prizes that will be
awarded to fearless participants.
Since its inception in 2002,
Whistler Friends has raised over $73,000 for two important organizations: The
B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of
Canada. Much of this fundraising has been done at previous Balding for Dollars
events held in Whistler.
