Host a Shave Your Lid for a Kid event at your school!

Kids Cancer Care invites you and your school to take part in the Shave Your Lid for a Kid® program. This unique and exciting fundraising program has brought together thousands of teachers, administrators and students losing their locks to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer.


Why Participate?
Shave Your Lid for a Kid® has many benefits for students in the classroom and beyond:
  1. Promotes leadership and encourages young people to get involved in the community;
  2. Promotes school spirit and advocates anti-bullying;

  4. Kids helping kids! Shave donations go directly to helping kids and their families affected by childhood cancer in Alberta;
  5. It’s fun!


The Shave Your Lid for a Kid® program features event and fundraising assistance from start to finish! Your school’s shave includes:
  • Promotional posters and tips on fundraising;
