A CAMPAIGN to go bald in support of Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society (SCCS) is being organised on Aug 18 in Sibu.
The GoBald 2024 campaign will be held from 9am to 2pm at the headquarters of Grolite Sdn Bhd.
SCCS event executive Boon Siew Ting said one of the main goals of the GoBald campaign was to raise funds to provide better care and support for children with cancer and their families.
“Supporting the childhood cancer cause means working towards greater awareness, improved treatments and better support services to increase survival rates,” she said.
Grolite director Sandra Song said they targeted to raise RM20,000 to support SCCS services and provide new medical equipment for childhood cancer patients at Sibu Hospital.
There will be a range of complimentary health tests, while blood donors will be entitled to a free fuel voucher and other freebies.
Last year, the GoBald campaign raised over RM900,000 with about 160 participants shaving their head.
This year, SCCS aims to raise RM1mil and shave 500 heads.
Participants must raise a minimum of RM50 to shave their heads and will receive an exclusive T-shirt.
