Bathurst has come out in force to support Just Cuts’ Cut-a-Rama, with this year’s event raising $27,300 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in just a few hours.
Just Cuts’ stylists have now snipped, buzzed, and styled their way to raising more than $580,000 for the RFDS since 1998 after the success in this year’s Cut-a-Rama at the Family Hotel Bathurst.
Just Cuts Bathurst Owner Catherine Denney thanked everyone who came to the Cut-a-Rama for a fun night in aid of a good cause and said she was blown away by people’s generosity.
We met some great characters who opted for some weird and whacky hair styles to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor’s Service,’’ Catherine said.
“A couple of highlights were a green lizard shaved into one fella’s hair, a mohawk complete with pink goatee and shaving off a moustache that its owner had had for more than 30 years! It was a terrific evening, and everyone really got into the spirit of the event.’’
A lot of them let their hair grow leading up to the Trek just so they can get a crazy style at Cut-a-Rama!’’
Just Cuts Founder Denis McFadden, attending his 27th Cut-a-Rama, thanked the people of Bathurst for supporting a good cause.
“People in these communities can live hours from medical care,’’ Denis said. “The doctors that work for the RFDS are the GPs of regional Australia, with a waiting room that spans millions of kilometres.
People can call them for anything from falling off a horse, or injuring themselves on farm equipment, to a medical episode. The RFDS can provide advice over the phone or come and provide assistance.’
