Register & Organise Your Own Shavathon Event

If your workplace, school, organisation, family or group of friends would like to organise a CANSA Shavathon Event, these events may take place throughout the year, and we are hosting a Online Fundraising Corporate Challenge until the 31st of May 2024. Please find guidelines and information below:

Please Note:

• Follow steps 1 through 6 in order to register your event via the CANSA Online Store (see steps 3 to 5 below).
• You register after filling up your shopping bag and then selecting the Checkout button.
• Once you have completed your customer | delivery | billing information via the CANSA eShop, your event is registered.

STEP 1: Download the ‘Guide for Shavathon Hosts’ and ‘Indemnity Form’

• Before you register a CANSA Shavathon shave & spray at your workplace, organisation, school or even between a group of friends, download the 2024 Implementation Guide for Shavathon Hosts, so that you know exactly what will be required from you.
• Registration of your event is automatic from step 5, while purchasing CANSA Shavathon products via our CANSA eShop.

STEP 2: Plan Your Order (CANSA Shavathon Products)

• Download a 2024 Shavathon Host Order Form (includes product packages & prices) to plan your purchase thoroughly, and to get prior approval from your financial office if necessary. These prices include VAT.
• It takes about 8 days in total before you will receive your Shavathon products – 3 business days to process a payment, another day to dispatch the goods ordered and another 4 business days to deliver the goods. Please bear this in mind when placing your order and order EARLY to avoid frustration.
