Gilda's Raw and Reflective 2020
Septmeber 6, 2019
Connect Hair Studio is proud to be spearheading a major fundraising event for Gilda’s Club of Simcoe Muskoka. More than a year of planning has gone into producing a calendar – Raw and Reflective 2020 which will help raise funds for Gilda’s Club.
Thirteen people from the community, who have faced cancer in its various forms, were teamed with fourteen of the region’s best professional photographers and videographers to produce this outstanding calendar. Each model was asked to write about the meaning of time once they were diagnosed and their stories are featured with their picture on each month.
The organizing committee, led by Sharon Smith of Connect Hair Studio, spent many hours pulling the calendar together and the concept was strongly supported by a wide range of generous sponsors which makes our goal of raising $20 000 very achievable.
Statistics tell us cancer diagnoses are on the rise. Gilda’s Clubs exist so that “No-one faces cancer alone” and were inspired by Saturday Night Live actor Gilda Radner as part of her legacy when she faced her cancer in the 1980s. Currently there are 55 Gilda’s Clubs in the USA and other countries. There are just 2 in Canada – and we have one of them! Every program provided by Gilda’s Club is free. You can help continue this amazing legacy by purchasing your calendar today.
