Organizers shave off Movember hair to reveal fundraising record
KAMLOOPS — Now bare-faced Movember organizers were able to shave off their unique hair styles today, after this year’s campaign in Kamloops blew past expectations.
After the wrap up event held at Shark Club last night, organizer Derek Strokon of SunLife Financial says the community has raised and donated around $5,500 towards the cause.
“We started this event in town two years ago, and I think we had 37 people, and raised about 350 bucks,” he explains. “So it was awesome, last year we came close to 100 people in attendance, and raised about $1,800 for the True North programs through the City of Kamloops.”
