Century Group employee, Val Pereira organizes 'Cuts for Cancer'
Val Pereira, a long standing member of the Century Group family and a member of our maintenance team, organized his third annual 'Cuts of Cancer' event to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. The event took place at Figaro Hair Design in Tsawwassen on June 7th, 2013 and involved over 20 brave participants having their heads shaved. Representatives from the Canadian Cancer Society as well as Mayor Lois Jackson and MLA Vicki Huntington were among those who attended. The event was a great success and at last count they had raised over $6,500!
Val was motivated to start this fundraiser after losing a good friend to a battle with breast cancer back in 2009. The event has grown significantly over the years in terms of number of particiants as well as the amount of money they raise. Overall the event was lots of fun and Val is looking forward to putting it on again next year.
