This is the Make-A-Wish: Queen’s University Branch’s largest annual event of the year! All the money that the Queen’s Branch raises goes towards granting the wishes of local Kingston children who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses (to see the stories of the wishes they’ve granted so far check out their website.
The Queen’s Branch needs your help to reach their goal of 100 participants and to raise $25,000 so that they can grant 5 wishes this year!
As a participant you can:
- Cut 8-10 inches of hair (coloured/ highlighted hair accepted)
- Shave your head (“going bald for wishes”)
- Come to the event with coloured pink hair to show your support
Don’t forget to download your pledge form and start collecting money as soon as possible! Any and all donations help! Please email queenswishes@gmail.com if you have any questions or email queenswishes.register@gmail.com if you would like to register as a participant for the event!
All of the hair is donated to Locks of Love and Children with Hairloss to make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to treatment of their illnesses.
Don’t forget to stop by the event and show your support there will be lots of fun activities going on:
- Live Music by Adam Heenan
- Estheticians (manicures!)
- Silent Auction (ranging from an autographed Toronto Maple Leafs hockey stick to 6 months of free pizza from Dominos)
- Crafts & Face painting
There will be a free shuttle bus running between campus and the Cataraqui Town Centre all day.
