The community are invited to shave their heads, or colour their hair any colour of the rainbow with hair spray paint. Should people not wish to shave or colour, they can simply just make a donation on the day. All donations are tax deductible. MarketPlace Management, Christianes Hair Design, Michelle from Nextra and the Leukaemia Foundation will all be doing the shave and colours on the day so all people will be in good hands. On the day, representatives from the Leukaemia Foundation will be on hand for people to talk to should they require further information on how they can support, or help someone they may know that needs help. If you are unable to make the day, but would still like to contribute, you can do so at: http://my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/marketplaceraymondterrace1 By Rachael VAUGHAN Chris Baguley was happy to make a contribution last year at the event. Last year’s event had a number of young people fundraising to have their hair chopped at the event. MarketPlace hope to see even more this year.
