Hello! We're Emily and Edward. Both creatives in our own ways, both a little quirky, and both children of immigrants from China and Hong Kong. In what started as an offhand joke about how one of us is always changing hairstyles and how the other has had the same haircut for almost a decade, we’ve decided to leave the fate of our appearances up to our greatest supporters, yourselves!

With that in mind, we’ve teamed up with Yarrow Intergenerational Society for Justice 世代同行會, which supports youth and low-income immigrant seniors in Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver. It’s a cause that’s very near and dear to our hearts - enough so for us to do something like this for!

As the Yarrow Intergenerational Society is aiming to raise $50,000 for 2020 to grow and sustain its programs, we hope to raise an ambitious $5,000 towards this goal. What incentives will we put out for those willing to donate? Well…

• Emily will shave 1 inch of her hair for every $125 raised, until we hit our first milestone of $3500 (Emily has 28 inches of hair). 
• If anybody donates over $1000, they can shave Emily’s hair themselves.
• If we hit our stretch goal of $5000, Edward will dye his hair whatever colour the donors vote on (each donation over $50 will qualify to vote). 

All proceeds raised from this campaign will go directly to Yarrow’s programs supporting seniors and youth.

Is this a little drastic? Yes. Are we going to have regrets about this? Potentially. Will those regrets stop us from following through to raise awareness for such an amazing cause? Absolutely not. At the very least if this is a bad idea born from a joke that's spiraling out of control, it's still supporting a non-profit organization at the end of it all.
