School / group Participation

Hi folks,

as you are aware, we have a number of schools and groups/ workplaces that unite in support of our event. I cant think of a better way to get involved in a meaningful cause, than to share the unique experience with family, friends, school or co-workers. Now... at last you CAN say "but all my friends are doing it!"

It used to be years back that parents and grandparents sponsored little Johnny and Suzy, now they are pinking and shaving with them.

The single child that braved the awkwardness amongst their peers with pink hair will eventually inspire their school to support the cause the following year.

I applaud those brave souls that lead the movement amongst their own peeps. Gord and I several years back went through it ourselves when we were trying to establish this hair brained idea back in 2005. Little did we know that one day Pink would be the new blue.

I recall teachers being judged and ridiculed years ago at various gatherings for their desperate attempt to "fit in and be cool with the kids" with the pink hair. Had they just thought to ask why..... If it weren't for those teachers that lead the example, would we have had dozens of schools involved over these years?

Times have changed. Now with the awareness of the event, its a known signature trademark. Several teachers since have come forth fully participating, leading their school and fellow staff members by example. Construction workers, Pipe Fitters, dance instructors, karate students, all walks of life. Thats admirable.

All it takes is one to get the ball rolling.

Now we have a number of schools who pink AND shave together. Makes sense, why not enjoy the entire journey as a whole? It offers a sense of community and besides... it's way more fun.

School / group pinkings can be made possible 2 ways:

1). The 2 Academies - Marvel and Eveline Charles (see website) can accommodate large groups.

2.) Order Kali Pink and Bleach - Manic Panic (Order forms will be available for schools and groups) and organize your own group pinking.

Then the big Shave at WEM:

You can book your group / family / school / to shave and we will schedule you in together. Scheduling will be available in January, as well as the sale of merchandise and Kali pink.

If you are new to the Massacure, or have participated as an individual in past, consider bringing a friend, a relative, ignite your class, school or workplace. There is more strength in numbers.

Think of all the heads you will turn walking in a pink pack........
