There’s nothing boring about the board room at Ernst & Young
Lynn Healey, a Partner at Ernst & Young LLP in St. John’s and a Director on our Board, and Jamie Roche, a Business Development Executive at the firm, wanted to support the Shave for the Brave and “those people that face the challenges of fighting cancer” so they signed their office up.
The staff gathered in a boardroom on Monday, April 4, to watch as four of their coworkers went bald in support of Canadian young adults with cancer.
Lynn gave a short presentation on Young Adult Cancer Canada before the shearing began to make sure everyone knew why they were there. Then, Jamie picked up the clippers and started Shaving heads after his own hair was gone.
Thank you to Lynn, Jamie, and everyone else at Ernst & Young. We hope you had fun and look forward to seeing you again next year!

Dearest Deer Lake
Mackenzie Bingle decided he wanted to grow his hair out and shave his MASSIVE “caucasian ‘fro” to benefit people with cancer. He and his father, Perry, contacted us in March with fantastic plans already in place.
Mackenzie was organizing the Shave at his school, Elwood Regional High School, and inviting the community to get involved as well. On April 15, 15 Shavers (8 students and 7 members of the public) got a little bit balder. At the end of the day, they were $77 shy of $5,000. Mackenzie said, “One of my friends went to his uncle and said we need $77 and he gave $100 so were over $5,000!” As of press time, the Bingle’s efforts in Deer Lake have resulted in $5,579 for Young Adult Cancer Canada!
