Frankston resident Mara Requilman will shave off her long gorgeous locks on June 17 to raise money for Sisterhood Frankston and Mornington Peninsula.

Sisterhood FMP is a grassroots community-driven initiative that is focused on empowering the community and educating people in identifying and preventing domestic violence.  "Domestic violence is a significant problem in our community and we are doing all that we can to raise awareness and understanding," said founder Sandi Walters.

Held at The Deck in Frankston from noon- 5pm, the event begins with the head shave at noon and will also feature lots of live music, including Callum and Jackson McPartlane, mature 13-year-old twins known as Bo’Ness who are still on a high after touring with Reece Mastin.  Frankston councillor Sandra Mayer will also perform original songs including a new song called Rise Up, which is about leaving an abusive relationship. 

“I know that people will pay to see me cut my hair off,” laughed Ms Requilman.   “I will be supported by a few of my talented friends on the day, so come along to hear some amazing music and all for a good cause."

Donations of $25 include entry to the show. Tickets are $30 at the door.
