What is the CANSA Shavathon all about?
CANSA: Striving for a Cancer Smart South Africa
The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) is dedicated to fighting cancer to save lives.
We run a number of prevention programmes and patient care services in line with our mission , which is to substantially reduce the impact of cancer by promoting health in all communities within South Africa through advocacy and the sustainable facilitation of research, prevention, early detection and care.
In order to fund our services, CANSA relies on the goodwill of individual, government and corporate partners to support projects such as the CANSA Shavathon.
We all love CANSA Shavathon!
CANSA Shavathon is one of South Africa’s best-loved events in support of a worthy cause.
People shave or spray their hair to show solidarity with cancer survivors or to remember loved ones lost to the disease.
Shavathon also raises awareness and funds for the fight against cancer as all money generated goes to CANSA prevention programmes and patient care services.
CANSA also hosts an annual national CANSA Shavathon over 2 days for people to shave or spray their hair for a R50 donation at either workplaces, organisations or educational institutions on the first day (usually a Friday) or shopping centres on the second day (usually a Saturday).
Take my hand, a song of hope about surviving cancer, written by Steven Sterling as a tribute to his mom, was launched at CANSA Shavathon on SABC 2 Morning Live on 6 March 2009. To listen to the song click on the link in the righthand column. Steven is a 30-year-old South African musician who had produced a number of albums and has appeared on television and radio. He is a sound and light engineer. A percentage of profits from the sale of the song will be donated to CANSA. Steven often performs with Ryan Walt, who sings and plays the pan pipe at events throughout South Africa.
