Jets ready for hair-raising experience
When Cody Kusch sat on the executive board of
the Seafair Minor Hockey Association, he introduced a number of community
initiatives that raised much-needed funds and increased awareness.
Now as a member of the newly-minted Richmond Jets (an amalgamation of Seafair and Richmond), he’s anxious to do more of the
same.
As the Jets’ first official community
function, a head shaving and hair donation event will be held Saturday, June 23
at Steveston Barbers and Shay’s Hair Studio.
Everyone in the family (fathers, mothers,
sons and daughters) is encouraged to come out and support the fundraiser which
will begin at 3:45 p.m. In its seven-year history, with the support of many
Jets’ families, the event has raised more than $75,000 in support of BC
Children’s Hospital.
Kusch sees the fundraiser as an opportunity
to “nurture our kids’ charity minds early.”
“While our boys and girls are healthy enough
to still play hockey, and sometimes worry about not making it to a banner game,
other kids at the hospital sometimes worry about their next chemo therapy
appointment,” he says. “We are what we do. There is a special bonding that
occurs when our boys and girls see us do what we preach. Rubbing each other’s
bald heads and donating hair is fun. The visual is long lasting and so are the
feelings. Just ask the 100-plus kids who have taken part in the last six years.
Let’s make this year the year we break the $100,000 mark.”
