Recognize these Kerrobert gals from 2007?

A snapshot of these two Kerrobert gals was published in a 2007 spring edition of The Crossroads. Grade 12 student Lacy Schrieber took great care in shaving teacher Allison Sherwin’s hair at the Cops for Cancer fundraising event that took place that year.

In 2007, Kerrobert held its first Cops for Cancer fundraiser, spearheaded by the Kerrobert detachment. Grade 12 student Lacy Schrieber took great care in shaving teacher Allison Sherwin’s hair at the event. Photo Crossroads, spring 2007 edition

The fundraiser generated $6,000, and Sherwin was not the only courageous individual who decided to part with her locks. Ten others followed suit, having their hair shaved off in what was Kerrobert’s first Cops for Cancer fundraiser, spearheaded by the Kerrobert detachment.

On the list were Cpl. Tom Vanderzwan, Cst. Steve Bell, Mayor Gary Smith, Kerrobert Tiger Gary Phillips, Kindersley RCMP Cst. Chris Hujber, teacher Troy Snider, son Clark, and The Aud Cup owner Audrey Engel.

All of the participants collected pledges, and coffee and donuts were served at The Aud Cup on the day the event kicked off. At the kick-off event, kids were busy collecting pledges and volunteering to have their heads shaved. Audrey Engel raised the largest amount, bringing in $1,300.

Hundreds of people turned out for a barbecue held in the curling rink parking lot, where they were able to watch the spectacle of heads being shaved.
