École Mgr Scheffer Participants to Shave or Cut Hair for Cancer

LOCAL NEWS BLANC-SABLON – FEBRUARY 23, 2021: Students and faculty at École Mgr Scheffer join the Défi Leucan challenge!

Défi têtes rasées Leucan, The Leucan Shaved Head Challenge, presented by PROXIM, is a major Leucan fundraising activity that mobilizes the community in a spirit of solidarity in order to offer services to families of children with cancer and to invest in clinical research.

Participants in the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge must collect donations from those around them: family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, community, etc. It is a great gesture of support for children who, during chemotherapy, undergo a change in their body image due to hair loss.

Taking part in the Leucan Shaved Head Challenge means being part of a unique family on which children with cancer can count on a daily basis.
