Public Head and Beard Shave for Sarcoma
July 20, 2009, in Portland, Victoria, Australia
Colin White renamed his business (normally known as the Kokopelli Kafe & Ice Bar) “Team Sarcoma” during International Sarcoma Awareness Week. And on Monday, July 20th, he hosted a dinner and shaving challenge to benefit sarcoma research. Even though Colin was the only person to have his head and beard shaved that night, more than 50 people enjoyed the event and made donations. All proceeds from the night, plus donation tins located throughout Portland, were donated to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute in Melbourne.

The event was dedicated to Paul Alexander Fraser, who lost his life to Sarcoma Cancer on 20th July, 2008 (aged 31), at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Institute in Melbourne.
