Head for a Cure @ Halifax West
Posted by Alex on Feb 20, 2010 in Blog | Comments
As you all know two of this years awards are going to Halifax West High School. One of them to a teacher for her outstanding commitment to her students and the second to a group of students for raising the bar when it comes to community and charitable work. The four students that are receiving the award are currently working on a project called ‘Head for a Cure’. They have asked me if i would relay this information to you all, in the hope that you will support this great cause.
On behalf of the students of Halifax West High School, we, the volunteerism committee, are looking for support for our fight against cancer. Each year Halifax West holds a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society: Head for a Cure.
On April 14 2010, we will be hosting our 7th annual Head for a Cure, in our school gymnasium. This is where students, teachers and community members will donate their hair to make wigs and collect pledges to raise money for cancer research. The entire school will be present to cheer on the participants who put forth their efforts to raise as much money as possible for the fight against cancer.
In the past two years, Head for a Cure has raised an outstanding $20,000: more than any other high school in Nova Scotia. We would like to exceed expectations and reach our goal of 15,000 but ultimately we want to give hope to those affected by cancer. To do this, we need your help…
If you would like to make a donation to help us in our cause, the link below will lead you to our online donations website.
We on behalf of Halifax West thank you in advance for your consideration.
The students have produced a video in aid of the project. Please give generously.
