PINK CHAMPIONS
PINK CHAMPIONS are the brave students and community members who are willing to cut and donate at least 8inches of their hair or shave their heads.
A PINK CHAMPION can be any age. They set their fundraising goals and our ASL teams work to support them.
There are 3 ways to raise awareness and money for our MUHC breast cancer clinic.
Shave your head.
Cut your hair and donate it for wig-making.
Spray your hair PINK or get a pink hair extension for a donation.
A survivor and 'Pink Ambassador' is also making their time available to students and each school to help raise awareness by sharing their journey and story.

WORK TO SUPPORT OF THE MUHC BREAST CANCER TEAM
Enhance your STEM skills and have health science experiences that are unlike any other while you help support people who need it.
Student Leaders create an engaging head shaving and fundraising experience at the MUHC in October for schools throughout the SWLSB.
Dr. Sarkis Meterissian, surgical oncologist and the Director of the Breast Cancer Clinic has pledged to raise $100,000 for the Breast Cancer Clinic.
All of the donations have benefited the Breast Clinic’s Wellness Program at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), which offers every breast cancer patient free access to services —from nutrition advice to counselling— to return to happy, healthy lives following treatment.

Marilena Papadopoulos
Marilena Thank you 2020.movYou always have the opportunity and power to change the world if you are listening effectively and willing to act.
Marilena is cutting and donating her hair with Pink In The City because one of her students at St. Agathe Academy asked her if she would donate her hair to help make a wig for his mom who will be going through breast cancer treatment.
Marilena is a student leadership alumni who answered this call in an incredible way.
Over $9000 raised!! Thank you!
