Heads on the cutting block for charity 

Published on 11 March, 2004 

Students from the Central Queensland University Chapter of the Golden Key Honour Society have put a number of heads on the cutting block for this year’s World’s Greatest Shave for a Cure event.

PhotoID:1374 Some daring staff had their heads shaved or hair coloured in the name of charity in the courtyard of the CQU Commercial Centre. Included in the shorn were Scott Aldred, Jillian Litster and Robyn Bailey.

Money raised from the day’s festivities will be donated to Leukaemia Research. A count is yet to be done.

President of the Golden Key Chapter Connie Moore said the students involved in Golden Key were keen to make a difference by helping raise funds for a number of charity organisations.

“But Shave for a Cure is one of the events that excited the students the most,” she explained.

Golden Key has had 25 years of success as an academic honour society dedicated to recognising the top 15% of academically successful juniors and seniors at college and university chapters around the globe.

PhotoID:1375 Golden Key is unique among honour societies because it offers benefits beyond academic recognition including leadership training, service opportunities and career assistance.
