Fundraising co-ordinator Jennifer Wright says the 12th annual shave-offs shattered the total raised last year.
She estimates 215 to 220 thousand dollars will be raised when all the counting is done at the end of this week, compared with 132 thousand dollars a year ago.
Wright says awareness is higher, and more people see the Cops for Cancer event as worthwhile.
One more fund-raiser is being held tomorrow at “Ice River Springs” in Feversham, where one woman is shaving her head for cancer.
Jenn Wright says they were surprised by one event at G. C. Houston school in Southampton where 25 hundred dollars was raised.
It was not a scheduled event.
Meanwhile, a company in Guelph that runs a restaurant review web-site has donated 1 thousand dollars to Stacey Furnall’s fund raising efforts.
The Owen Sound restaurant worker has brought in nearly 5,200 dollars for Cops for Cancer after being put in the international spotlight.
