Skin Check Champions’ “Million Dollar Beard Ball”, supported by LA ROCHE-POSAY will be held this coming Thursday 13 May at The Ivy ballroom in Sydney.
The expert in sun protection for sensitive skin, LA ROCHE-POSAY, is thrilled to support not-for-profit organisation Skin Check Champions with this milestone event.
The Million Dollar Beard Ball will celebrate the 11th year of Skin Check Champions (formally Beard Season), and founder Jimmy Niggles Esq.’s iconic beard – a symbolic conversation-starter to raise critical awareness about the early detection of melanoma, in memory of Jimmy’s friend Wes Bonny, who lost his life to the curable disease. This worthwhile initiative has saved thousands of lives, by encouraging Australians and people around the world to have their skin checked regularly.
Skin Check Champions realisation of its $1M fundraising target is near, with the Million Dollar Beard Ball representing the final step on the ladder. With two out of three Australians predicted to develop skin cancer at some point in their lives, funds raised from the organisation will help create the world’s first targeted national skin check program – ensuring access to pop-up skin check clinics, technology and skincare experts to where they are needed most.
The highly anticipated event will be attended by over 350 guests, bearing witness to Niggles’ magnificent beard being shaved off (in one piece), by acclaimed Hollywood hair designer, Luca Vannella.
Tickets can be purchased and donations made via givergy.com.au/milliondollarbeardball.
