Before….and after!
We are so proud of Vincent and Gigi! When they both found out that our school would be running St. Baldrick’s, both of them very willingly wanted to participate in this great event with such a worthy cause.
St. Baldrick’s is a fundraising event that raises money through sponsorship of shaving one’s head. The donations made are given for cancer research–more specifically children’s cancer research. Shavees receive pledges for money and then shave their heads in order to show compassion and empathy for those children who lose their hair due to chemotherapy and radiation.
Gigi and Vincent went about several ways of gaining sponsorship: first they joined the St. Baldrick’s website, made a page and team, and used that forum in order to receive donations from friends and family overseas. They wrote emails to friends and family asking for sponsorship as well as going from door to door in our neighborhood seeking more pledges. They made a poster to tape up in our elevator, and hopefully, in return for the donations they managed to thank all those who gave. In total the two of them, between two currencies, raised US$750! Yes we are so proud of them!
And to top it off, they made the South China Morning Post the very next day!

Gigi looking so proud–as she should!
I’ve always wanted Vincent to have a Mohawk–if even for five seconds. It suits him, don’t you think?
Just getting a lay of the land….
Making the paper!
