Head Shave Night

 

On the 3rd of October 2008,  at the South Adelaide Football Club presentation night, team mates of Sam’s - Ashley Weckert and Michael Kenyon shaved their dreadlocks off to raise money for the Sammy d Foundation. Michael was the first one in the chair with many team mates and family members paying $5:00 to cut off a single Dreadlock. Then Angelo from Tuccis Hairdesign went to work on him to a lot of cheering from family and mates. After using the clippers Angelo then got out the soap and water and even the cut throat razor.

Ashley was next up and he looked like he was wishing he went first. Once again team mates and family members paid $5:00 to cut off a single Dreadlock and then Angelo went to work to much delight of family and friends.

In keeping with the spirit of the night Vince Kent (father of Chris Kent) shaved off his more than impressive moustache to raise some extra bucks. This was an impressive effort since even his family had never seen him without a moustache.

Once again our thanks go out to everyone involved on the night and to the families of the boy’s who went to local GSFL games to raise money and promote awareness of the foundation.

Kayleen Kenyon has been a tireless worker in the Great Southern area providing an important link to the foundation from an area that produces some really talented young athletes.  So if you see Kayleen Kenyon in Strathalbyn or at any of the country games buy a stubbie holder or any merchandise and congratulate her on the effort she has put in.

Phone Book Deliverys

Over the past few weekends with a lot of helpers including Sam’s friends, committee members and South Adelaide Soccer Club members the Sammy D foundation has delivered over 8000 Yellow pages. It was a huge success raising over $2000 dollars for the foundation. Our thanks goes out to everyone that helped with the deliveries and I am sure that a good time was had by all at the BBQ and drinks we had after each day. We won’t name everyone that helped but you know who you are. If anyone is interested in helping on any of our fundraising activities please don’t hesitate to contact us.
