Shaggy is great on a dog...
I'm getting fed up and my hair needs a serious cut!
If I raise more than $100, I'm letting Sgt Justice give me the epic haircut of his dreams. Will I look like David Beckham, Brad Pitt, or a Beatle? Who knows! But all funds raised will go to the Okanagan College Foundation to help them open a new Health Sciences Centre and train health care professionals for our community.
We're all in this together and I challenge Chief Travis Whiting of the Kelowna Fire Department, and Dave Gazley Bylaw Services Manager for the City of Kelowna to cut their hair too!
You will receive a tax receipt from the Okanagan College Foundation for your donation by email.

Donate the equivalent of your regular haircut or treatment. Kids cut options available. When you're done, make sure to dare a friend to do the same.

A Community Challenge
“When the campaign reaches $10,000, I will personally donate $5,000,” says Okanagan College President Jim Hamilton.
While Okanagan College President Jim Hamilton jokes that he doesn't have much hair to inspire people to donate, he still wants to thank the community for coming together in support of education for the next generation of health care heroes. Read more here.

It's been more than a month, and my hair needs a serious cut. I've set a fundraising goal of $200 and if I reach it, I will give the clippers to my daughter who can shave my head any way she sees fit! All funds raised will go to the Okanagan College Foundation to help them open a new Health Sciences Centre and train health care professionals for our community. Help me reach my goal! I dare (enter friend's name) to cut their hair too!

My hair is out of control! Seeing I can't visit my hairdresser, I've decided to take matters into my own hands while supporting a good cause. I'm donating the price of my haircut to the Okanagan College Foundation to help them open a new Health Sciences Centre and train health care heroes for our community. I dare (enter friends's name) to chop their locks for a good cause! #haircutsforhealthcare @Okanagan College Foundation

Fundraising Heroes
When Drew's bangs got too long, his mom cut his hair and donated the price of a haircut.
Scott's wife is a nurse so he wanted to raise funds to support the training of new nurses.
Keep supporting local salons
While salons may not be able to cut your hair in-person, many are offering virtual advice and product delivery. Please support them and be sure to stay loyal once this is over. When we get through this, we will need their talent and help more than ever!
Cut at your own risk!
As a result of COVID-19, there are many online tutorials on how to cut your hair. Make sure to do your research and go slowly. Okanagan College Foundation accepts no liability for failed cuts or injuries resulting from participation.
