CITY GOVERNMENT PRESS RELEASE
Brave the Shave, World Cancer Day 2022

- AS PREPARED FOR PUBLICATION -
Los Santos, SA ~ Saturday, February 5th, 2022



The City of Los Santos cohered with its citizens in commemorating World Cancer Day on the 4th of February, 2022.
“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds, and diamonds are made under pressure.” - Peter Marshall
World Cancer Day 2022 is dedicated to the courage and accomplishments of people living with cancer and their families, as well as caregivers, health care providers, researchers, exponents, and other volunteers — and calls for everyone to join in helping to save lives from this disease.

The 2022 World Cancer Day efforts within Los Santos are led by the City's Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the University of Los Santos. The theme “Brave the Shave” encapsulates the extraordinary spirit, strength, and resolve to battle this illness through unity and love.

The City's agenda behind this charitable initiative is to spread the message of awareness against cancer — about its causes, symptoms, treatment, and precautions — through joyful and voluntary participation in shaving one's head. All of the cut hair will then be donated to cancer patients — for them to embellish their heads through wigs, hair extensions, and toupees in liberty and happiness.

In addition, the City is pleased to reveal the estimated number — the "Brave the Shave" initiative amassed an amount of $1.525.799 and all the donated funds will be sent to cancer research institutions and families that are tackling this tribulation.

The City's transparent summary of the donated sum, according to the analysis from the Office of City Treasurer, in its explicit form:

The City Treasury will be donating an additional $474,201 atop, which then brings the final sum to a grand amount of $2.000.000.

Mayor of Los Santos, Marcus Cambridge, states:
“Through initiatives such as "Brave the Shave" and combined efforts from our beloved citizens of Los Santos, we are putting cancer at the center of attention with ambitious policy actions and research efforts – from prevention, via treatment, to survivorship — to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among our people and reduce cancer risks.”
The Mayor and the vast amount of citizens adventurously took participation in becoming coiffeurs as the event slowly took its course, with many more voluntarily taking part in this spirited strive. Suffice to say, they have had their hands occupied throughout the whole evening!

The City of Los Santos considers promoting local cooperation in healthcare and medical research to be an absolute priority. Assuring the physical and mental health of each individual is the first building block of a prosperous society. A sound mind in a sound body, unburdened by illness, is free to dream, to discover, to accomplish so much good for our citizens.

For that sole reason, the City commends YOU for your collective efforts and offers gratitude for fighting the good fights on this remarkable day.
