Because we believe bald is beautiful
Since its inception in 2000, Balding for Dollars has raised over $5.0 million dollars for oncology, hematology, and bone marrow transplant patients at BC Children’s Hospital. These funds support a variety of programs and services aimed at enhancing the quality of life of our patients and their families, during and after treatment.
