We arrive on Facebook!

Yeah, as much as some people despise Facebook, you have to admit it does help spread the word.

We made a group page that put our mission statement and listed all the ways we need help:

"In this day and age we all know someone who is either a survivor, diagnosed or has lost someone to some form of cancer and all the more reason why we should support the groups, organizations and medical centres who are trying to find cures. Support does not only need to come in the form of monetary donations, there are many things individuals can do to help this cause. And that is why we (Meg and Steph) have decided to take action in organizing our own fundraiser. Besides the obvious support we want to give to cancer research, it also gives us an opportunity to show the community the various talents we embody as inspired individuals but from our friends and family as well. So that is why we have turned to you, to help us in our goal to raise funds and cut our hair to be contributed to wigs for those undergoing cancer treatments (it takes 6 hair donations to make a single wig).

Our vision for this fundraiser is to culminate at a single large event in the new year (end of February). There will be a hair cutting ceremony followed by silent auction of artwork, and an all night party with fantastic entertainment of all forms. We want to provide food and drinks at this party which will allow us all to further network in our fields. All this aside, its going to take a lot of work to get there and we need to find people that are just as committed and serious as we are to help us actualize this goal.We are coming to you in hopes that you can help us in the various fields below:

-people willing to make the cut for wigs (an 8 inch ponytail is all we need, but more is even better!)
-people willing to make the cut as symbol of support (if you don't have 8 inches to give, sometime the act of cutting your hair is just as powerful)
-people to canvass for donations (as much as we'd love to give all proceeds to cancer research, this baby is gonna cost us some big bucks to get off the ground!)
-people to find larger donors (woo hoo shwag - if you know any companies or organizations willing to donate their products/services every little bit counts)
-ARTISTS, MUSICIANS, PERFORMERS, DESIGNERS (this is just obvious)
-volunteers to help with the organizing (you know who you are and we can't do it alone)
-donations from you!!

And this list will be ever growing!!

Please know that this event is not just some fantastical idea we came up with over a night of bar hopping! We are extremely serious about this and will be making it entirely legally legit. Making a difference in the community, for someone you know or even just for yourself is incredibly satisfying and self-rewarding. The sense of accomplishment is definitely worth it and we encourage you (and anyone you know) to get involved with us today - our contact is below."
