Shave Your Lid for a Kid
Shave Your Lid for a Kid is Kids Cancer Care's largest fundraising initiative, raising more than $9 million since its inception in 1998. The shave program is successful because of you. Each year, hundreds of Albertans like you shave their heads for our kids. This bold move shows moral support for the kids who lose their hair during cancer treatments, while raising money for camp, research, hospital and scholarship programs for young people affected by cancer.

5 steps to a stellar shave.
Planning a shave is easy. Just follow the steps below and you'll be on your way to a spectacular hair-razing event:

Download a shave kit.
Set a fundraising goal, date and location for your shave.
Register your shave online with Kids Cancer Care.
Spread the word. Tell all your friends and family, teachers and colleagues about your shave. Share your fundraising goal with them and invite them to join your shave as a shavee or pledger. Contact their office for promotional ideas.
Make your shave event fun. Invite your friends. Bring music. Have a BBQ for your supporters. Shave yourself a Mohawk first. Start a competition between shavees with a prize for the highest fundraiser.

Shaving your head is a great way to raise money while showing moral support for kids who lose their hair during cancer treatments. If bald isn't your style, you can always opt for a haircut or pledge someone else who is shaving. Check out the new shave video here and share it widely.
Shave Your Lid for a Kid is a grassroots initiative sponsored by Trico Homes and made possible by thousands of brave Albertans who shave their heads and raise vital funds and awareness for children with cancer.

They are planning for the 18th edition of this event and donated $400,000 to the Calgary Food Bank through the years. The idea was sparked with a simple idea and good intention over a coffee. They will continue with the great tradition of the Amble with Angus on Friday, December 13 in support of the Calgary Food Bank.
Great team work and volunteers allow the Calgary Food Bank to be successful supporting our neighbourhoods. Reach out to your friends, colleagues and family to register a team and join the fun. A few kilometres and a few dollars go a long way.
