About Event

First launched in 2009, Go Bald is the signature fundraiser for the Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society (SCCS). It is the largest and the only head-shaving event that raises funds and spreads awareness of childhood cancer. Every shaven head represents an understanding by an individual of the ordeals that a child with cancer is subjected to.


Through the Go Bald campaign, we aim to:
  • Raise awareness of childhood cancer in Malaysia
  • Offer a public demonstration of moral support to cancer patients and their families.
  • Tell children with cancer that it’s ok to be bald
  • Raise funds to help children with cancer, and their families.
  • Build a community of support for children with cancer, and their families

Why Go Bald?

All funds raised from the Go Bald campaign contributes to the RM 1.5 million needed annually to run the vital services provided for the children and their families by SCCS.

This year, we hope to encourage at least 1,200 participants to join our cause and raise RM 1 million to aid children and families impacted by cancer.
