Pomona shaves for charity

JOLENE OGLE
Any man with a moustache would understand the bond one can have with a fuzzy upper lip, but Pomona Community House manager Brian Lawson will say good-bye to 45 years’ of growth – all in the name of charity.

Brian, who’s wife of 40 years has never seen him without a moustache, has pledged to shave his top lip bare for a $500 donation towards the House’s $2,000 goal.
Brian will be among more than 10 other brave Pomona Community House volunteers and staff who have put their hands up to lose their locks for the Leukaemia Foundation’s annual World’s Greatest Shave fundraiser.
Funds raised in the nation-wide charity drive are used to aid cancer research, as well as provide support for families dealing with cancer.
You can show your support for the Leukaemia Foundation by donating to the Pomona Community House team via their Facebook page or you can join the team and shave or colour your hair for a $20 donation.
The fun kicks off on Wednesday, March 12, from 9.30am when the clippers fire up at Lawson Shed, Memorial Avenue, Pomona.
Everyone is invited to come along and watch the Pomona Community House team shave or colour their hair and a morning tea will follow the big event.
For more information on how to donate or to join the team phone 5485 2427 or email admin@pomonacommunityhouse.com.au
