Thank you South Africa for your overwhelming support for the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) Shavathon held on 6-7 March.
Final figures will be released soon but so far the response was incredible with over 200 workplaces and 137 shopping centres hosting events and thousands of South Africans participating.
“Shave or spray in solidarity with a cancer survivor” was the theme of this year’s CANSA Shavathon which raised funds for CANSA’s prevention programmes and patient care services.
“CANSA thanks all South Africans who shaved, sprayed, volunteered, hosted events, spread the word and made donations in order to make things happen in the fight against cancer,” said Sue Janse van Rensburg, National Executive Director and cancer survivor.
“CANSA Shavathon has become a wonderful nation-building event that spreads a message of hope,” she added.
CANSA Shavathon proud sponsors include Nedbank, SABC 2, Wahl Clippers, Dawn Wing and Newsclip Media Monitoring.
