We’re incred­i­bly proud of the suc­cess of our 2026 World’s Great­est Shave event held last Fri­day night at Swaab. Thanks to the gen­eros­i­ty of our staff and the firm who match every dona­tion dol­lar-for-dol­lar we raised an amaz­ing $3,768 for this very impor­tant cause.

Swaab has been a long stand­ing sup­port­er of the Leukaemia Foun­da­tion and the work the Foun­da­tion does. Its resources assist­ed our founder (the late Fred Swaab, who lost his life to leukaemia) and con­tin­ues to assist those we know (at and around Swaab) who live with and man­age the impacts of var­i­ous types of leukaemia.

Right now, more than 170,000 Aus­tralians are fac­ing the dev­as­tat­ing impact of blood can­cer, and 17 peo­ple lose their life every sin­gle day. That’s why we’re tak­ing on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Great­est Shave. Help­ing raise vital funds and aware­ness, fuel life‑changing research projects, and sup­port patients and their fam­i­lies through prac­ti­cal and emo­tion­al services. 

Every year, thou­sands of Aus­tralians step up to shave, cut or colour their hair, the ulti­mate act of sup­port for peo­ple fac­ing blood can­cer. Every dol­lar raised helps pro­vide fam­i­lies with crit­i­cal sup­port and pow­ers Australia’s bright­est research minds as we work towards the goal of zero lives lost to blood can­cer by 2035.

A spe­cial shout‑out to Ter­ry from IT, who has vol­un­teered to be our res­i­dent bar­ber on the night!
