The public and the media are invited to participate in Cops for Cancer, the annual Head Shave Fundraiser at Yorkdale Shopping Centre, 3401 Dufferin Street, on Saturday, April 12, 2014, at 11:30 a.m., inside the front of the old Sears entrance.

Started in Edmonton in 1994, Cops for Cancer is a national program raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society to fund research and support patients.

The fundraiser will see dozens of members of the Toronto Police Service and the law-enforcement community, as well as members of the public, have their heads shaved and hair cut.

Hosted by emcees Frank Ferragine and Maurie Sherman, this energetic day will feature head-shaves, haircuts, the return of Jail-N-Bail, and a silent auction.

Canadian Cancer Society Senior Manager of Corporate and Community Partnerships Tonya Stewart said everyone should participate in the event once.

"Cops for Cancer is one of the Canadian Cancer Society's signature events and something every officer should do at least once. Cutting and donating your hair or shaving your head is a visible representation of your commitment to the fight against cancer and the funds you raise help us fund critical services for those fighting the disease today and innovative research into the causes and cures. The Society is so proud to partner with the Toronto Police Service, Yorkdale Shopping Centre and the community on this incredible event."

Yorkdale Shopping Centre is once again sponsoring and hosting the event.

"We are very proud to be lending our support to Cops for Cancer," said Claire Santamaria, General Manager of Yorkdale Shopping Centre. "This event highlights the tremendous community leadership of our friends at the Toronto Police Service, who inspire us every day in their work, and we hope to see lots of people at Yorkdale on April 12 to show their support in the fight against cancer."

TPS Staff Sergeant Chris Boddy will be among those shaving his head in support of the fundraiser.

"Cancer hits home for me and so many others in the community," Boddy said. "This event is a hugely positive way for the police and community to join forces in the fight against cancer."
