Doing weird things to your body for money

Emaline:
As some of you may have saw, one of my friend's is shaving his head for cancer research. I think its a pretty worthwhile cause, and a totally fun way to get people to donate.

After thinking about it for a bit, I decided that it might be a good idea for me to join in, and become a "shavee" myself. I can only come up with two reasons for not doing this. One is easily fixed. The first and fixable problem is: I'm not really sure if there is any place locally where I could go to get shaved. Since I mostly walk places, this could pose a big problem. However, I've got my friend looking for a place closer to me to use. If push comes to shove, I can always take the day off and go do it in St. Louis with him.

My other problem is: I don't know if I could raise enough money. I mean I want to raise $200 to $300. I don't have a super whole lot of hair to shave off. I'm not really all that sure people would donate much to me.

What do you guys think? Should I do it? Has anyone done it before? What was it like?

look out! Ninjas!:
I did it about 7 years ago now, when I was in Primary School. It was kinda cool, I raised a fair bit of money and my hair was all spiky for a while. I only wish that I had gone nuts with colouring and shit before I did it.

But anyway, you may as well.

MrSteevo:
Sounds like a good plan. I enjoy the program for the cause, and it gives the world more short haired girls, which is never bad.
I remember when our school did it, I wasn't there that day, but a teacher got his arm hair shaven off for it...

Kylos:
It was a less noble cause, but my workmate got our friend's name tattooed on her foot for some money to go on holiday with.
She made one hundred of our finest english pounds for that.
The second friend also paid yet another one of our work mates £5 to punch her in the arm.
I think he likes spending money.

IronOxide:
As a fundraiser, my fraternity does something called "Shave the music", where brothers sign up to be sheared if the most people donate into their bin. But that depends on a group of people who are both: willing to get shaved and willing to pay to see somebody (anybody in that group) shaved.
