AUGUSTA, Ga. – Advanced Services found a fun way to raise money to help find a cure for blood cancers. The company held a a Shave to Save event on Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Advanced Services Columbia Road location with proceeds going to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).
The Advanced Services employees stopped shaving for the past four weeks prior to the event in order to shave their beards and mustaches during the No Shave to Save event.
The Advanced Services team has already raised $10,000 for LLS with a goal of $15,000. Event organizer and Advanced Services’ Branch Manager, Kristi Kruger, explains, “The employees have had fun with this event. Advanced Services has a policy about facial hair, so the guys have to pay $30 per week to keep from shaving.”
Advanced Services owner, Jeff Annis, and his 40-member team at Advanced Services Pest Control are dedicated to the fight against cancer. For the past 10 years, they have been supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by raising funds for cancer research and raising awareness for LLS in the greater Augusta, Georgia community.
