Hair for Hope is CCF's annual fundraising event which sees members of the public shaving bald in support of children with cancer.

Children with cancer typically lose hair when they undergo chemotherapy treatment. Hair for Hope is the only head-shaving event in Singapore and undertaking this symbolic act of shaving helps to raise awareness of childhood cancer and monetary donations in aid the CCF beneficiaries.

Close to 900 volunteers, comprising men, women, children and babies, bravely shed their locks to send the message of hope and love to our children. With the act of each volunteer stepping forward to shave their head, it represents the understanding by an individual of the ordeals which a child with cancer is subjected to.

Your shaved head, now undoubtedly a topic of interest among your friends, family members and colleagues, is a great way to start a conversation on how children with cancer deserve our support!

This project is what we have chosen to do in solidarity of children with cancer and in celebration of their courage. Thank you for being a part of Hair for Hope 2007.
