MORE heads have been shaved as Loddon communities rally to support Rowan Broad and raise funds for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation.
Boort’s football, netball and hockey clubs raised more than $7200 at the weekend.
The fundraiser saw 19 heads shaved, a beard and a moustache.
Football president Craig Scott had his chest and back waxed.
Rowan’s sister-in-law Jacqui Challis said: “James Wilson and Greg Boyd did an amazing job encouraging people to donate to the cause.
“The fundraiser had an op-shop dress up theme and the two hair dressers in our women’s (hockey) team Sherryn O’Flaherty and Sharne Muller were dressed for the occasion - They were very busy on the clippers all night.
“It was a great night with all three Boort codes football, netball and hockey clubs coming together to support this amazing cause.
“Kelly Henderson and Chris O’Flaherty the president and secretary of the hockey club did an amazing job to make sure the night was a success.
The Boort fundraiser follows Pyramid Hill’s football and netball clubs starting support for Rowan and the foundation the previous week when 36 players and officials had their heads shaved, raising more than $6000.
Rowan, Pyramid Hill Football Netball Club’s netball operations director, has been diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma and receiving treatment at Peter Mac.
