Norris and Hyde IT raised over $12,000 for the World’s Greatest Shave!

/

After nearly a year of training (living with wild hair and beards) the team at Norris and Hyde IT donned their capes and braved the shave (or colouring) for the World’s Greatest Shave. 

Their aim was to raise as much money as possible for the Leukaemia Foundation. The IT CrewCutz started off with a reasonable goal of $2,500 and once they had smashed that goal they started a new one - $5,000, then $10,000 when they reached the second goal. (And let’s not forget if they reached the $10,000 mark that Rohan would not only be shaving his beard and hair but also getting an upper body wax.) Well all their donations have been counted and their final total is … $12,127.20!!

This is a massive job by all involved, especially everyone who donated to this amazing cause. The Norris and Hyde IT team know they could not have done this without the support of the Geraldton community and businesses that jumped on board with them.

And now I’m sure you want to see the proof they all really did shave and colour.
Here they are before going under the razor and spray can - 

And here they all are after - 

And yes there are photos of Rohan getting waxed!

To see all the photos from the day check out Norris and Hyde IT’s Facebook page.
