Shavees are the heart and soul of the event, each pledging to raise at least $7,500 for Hope Lodge KC. During the event, Shavees are invited on stage to have their hair shaved. Shave To Save serves as a symbol of unity and support for those facing cancer, while raising funds for Hope Lodge Kansas City.
Since it’s inception in 2002, 475 Shavees have helped raise $4.5 million for Hope Lodge Kansas City!
