Yes, you read that right!
The highest bidder gets bragging rights + the honour of shaving Sergeant Kelly bald. Why? Because cancer doesn’t care who you are. And Kelly doesn’t care about her hair if it means more $$ for the fight.
*How it works:*
1. Drop your bid in the comments or DM us.
2. Highest bid wins the clippers - bidding will conclude onsite at the RSL on Saturday, 27th June.
3. We will livestream the shave so everyone can witness the glory 
4. You must be able to attend the RSL on Saturday, 27th June.
All proceeds go straight to The World's Greatest Shave.
So come on — who’s brave enough, generous enough, and has steady hands? 
Bid now. Bald later. Beat cancer always.
