THE Beerwah State High School held their annual World’s Greatest Shave fundraising event on Tuesday, May 27, surpassing their $1000 goal, raising $4530. The event was organised by the school council and Beerwah SHS teacher Chantelle Mergard, who expressed why it’s so important to support charities like the Leukaemia Foundation.
“The charity raises money for a great cause, and it gives the kids something bigger to strive for, and it’s one of those events that everyone likes to get behind,” she said.
Beerwah SHS sports teacher, Steven Jeffrey, said this was the first time he has been involved in a World’s Greatest Shave.
“I decided that I would join early this year, and started fundraising late, but we’ve raised a lot of money so it’s been good,” he said.
Six students participated, two from the school council and the others ranging from year 7 to 12.
The two teachers who put their hand up for the event were Mr Leftwich and Mr Jeffrey.
