Register for Cuts for Cancer 2008

Thank you for considering participating in Cuts for Cancer!

Online registration is still open, however as it is so close to the event we may not be able to schedule an appointment for you. If you do not receive an email or phone call specifying an appointment time, you have not been scheduled -- but we encourage you to stop by the event and see if you can be scheduled as a drop in. Thank you!

Please read the following thoroughly before signing up for the event.

This year's Cuts for Cancer will be held on Monday, March 10th, 2008 from 9:30am to 4:00pm
in the Main Concourse of the Student Union Building of the University of British Columbia.

How to get to the Student Union Building:

Instructions for Signing Up:

  • All fields must be filled in.
  • A minimum of 8" of hair in good condition is necessary to donate your hair for wig-making. Please wash and dry your hair the morning of the event. Further hair requirement details can be found here.
  • If you are donating your hair and receiving a hair cut (and not shaving), select the "Cut only" option.
  • If you are donating your hair and would like to shave off the rest, select the "Cut and Shave" option.
  • If you do not wish to cut off a full 8", you can choose to have your hair styled in support for a minimum donation of $25.
  • You can also choose to shave in support (if you do not have 8" of hair to donate) for a minimum donation of $10.
  • There are many more ways in which you can come out and support the fight against cancer -- including a raffle, for which the first prize is a pair of tickets to see the Canucks take on the Minnesota Wild on March 21st! Getting your hair cut or shaved will automatically win you entries in the raffle. For more information on our complete list of events, click here.
  • Please provide a minimum 2 hour window of availability between 9:30am and 4:00pm for us to schedule your appointment. We will do our best to accomodate any preferences you may have.

Signing Up as a Team:

  • Please contact Jessica at president@cutsforcancer.net if you and your friends would like to sign up as a team. We will do our best to arrange it so that you can donate your hair at or around the same time!
