Go bald 5.0 Launching

Hello everyone,

Today, I am going to share about the GO BALD 5.0 LAUNCHING event.

On the day, I was assigned to registration counter. Other than helping baldies to register themselves, I will also need to distribute the event mechandize (T-shirt, pledge card, badge and wristlet) to all the participants. 

Through the event, the organizer SCCS hope to raise fund and create awareness among the public about children with cancer. 

This was the first time SCCS collaborate with higher education institution to hold such meaningful event. 

Curtin Sarawak was honored to have the chance as part of the charity.

In our Pro Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive Professor Ian kerr welcoming speech during the event, he mentioned that although the university is formally supporting Go Bald for the first time this year, it will certainly not be the last!

There was hundreds of people turned up at the event to support 38 participants who had their heads shaved. 

Among the 38 participants, two were girls, Ngiam Loke Ming and Alvina Wong. They said they were fully aware of cancer children in Sarawak and they wanted to show support by going bald.

For me as a girl, this decision is difficult. I admire them for their courage! SALUTE!!!!!

Enjoy the pictures~~~

Press Conference for Go Bald 5.0 Campaign

Note: All the photos belong to Curtin University Sarawak.

Before I proceed to the press conference, I will first briefly explain what is Go Bald Campaign.

Go Bald campaign's main intention is to create awareness about childhood cancer and support children's fight against cancer by going bald. This event is firstly held in 2009 by Sarawak Children's Cancer Society. 

The event holds throughout Sarawak in the main cities of MIRI, SIBU and Kuching.

This year, SCCS decided to launch Go Bald 5.0 (Miri) in higher education institution. Curtin Sarawak was honored to have the opportunity to have this meaningful event launch within the campus.

In preparation for the Go Bald 5.0 campaign, a press conference was held at Curtin Sarawak.

It was attended by members of media, as well as SCCS representatives in Miri led by SCCS Outstation Liaison Jocelyn Hee. Also present was Curtin Sarawak's Pro Vice Chancellor, Professor Ian Kerr, Chief Operating Officer, Mr Nicholas Ching, Corporate communications team led by Manager of Corporate Communications, Mr Nicholas Leong.

This is the first press conference that I've attended. I am very happy and grateful to be able to learn about how to conduct a press conference. During the process, i noticed all the things that I've learnt in PR units are actually useful, for example preparing media kits for reporters.

Take Care!
