The idea is very simple and a great attention grabber, guaranteed to attract publicity to your good cause. If you really don’t fancy a skydive, bungee jump or wing walk but still want a daredevil fundraising experience, a head shave could be for you…
It’s certainly a head and shoulders above all other fundraisers!
This sort of challenge needs to be promoted and advertised as much as possible. Having a venue booked for the head shave to take place is always a great way to gain extra supporters. Having a local club or pub sponsor you to have the head shave in their venue is great exposure for you and them. Or even in your workplace so all your colleagues can see how brave you are!
