On October 28, 2008, Joseph Broccolini, Vice president of Broccolini Construction, participated in the Mix 96/Astral Media "Shave to Save" event.
As a fundraiser for the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation, "Shave to Save" invites corporations, schools and institutions to collect donations, and asks willing individuals to shave their heads as a symbolic gesture. Since its beginning, this popular annual event has raised over $3 million for the foundation, including $436, 000 this year.
Mr. Broccolini, who has close friends and family battling cancer, was eager to get involved with the campaign. He agreed, along with 130 other Montrealers, to have his head shaved by a stylist from La Coupe salon – at the offices of Broccolini Construction, with clients, employees and friends looking on.
With the participation of employees and clients, Broccolini raised $22,975 for the Foundation, which far surpassed the original $10,000 objective. We thank all those who gave so generously to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.
