Highlights

This year sees the Hair’s Angels led by Tina Traill, coming together again in Fourways to raise funds for the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) annual Shavathon. It’s been 10 years since Traill and her team first took on the Shavathon challenge and this year will see them doing it again but on a much larger scale.

CANSA is excited to announce the 23rd annual CANSA Shavathon, launching on Saturday, 1 March 2025, at selected shopping malls across the country. The Shavathon will continue with community and workplace events throughout March, bringing South Africans together in a bold show of solidarity with those affected by cancer.
