What's new this year? In June, Schick® Xtreme® will debut limited edition Shave The Day razor packs at more than 36,000 retail locations at stores like CVS, Kroeger, Rite Aid, Target Walgreens, and Walmart, as well as on Schick.com. Each pack will feature Xtreme Man, the game's courageous hero who uses his Xtreme 3 Razor as a hover board to shave heads and collect Bald Bucks that Schick turns into real dollar donations for St. Baldrick's. Each pack will include a QR code so customers can learn more about the program, download the mobile game, and of course donate!
In addition, Schick and St. Baldrick's have teamed up with five video gamers and content creators, including Ludwig, Bajheera, Kang Gaming, Macro, and Island Grown to livestream gameplay of Shave The Day on popular gaming and streaming platform Twitch. Each streamer will set a personal game play donation goal and will challenge their followers to beat their high score to help raise money directly via Twitch to support the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Once their donation goals have been reached, some streamers will be shaving their heads in solidarity with kids fighting cancer.
The Shave The Day mobile game was designed to complement St. Baldrick's in-person signature head-shaving fundraising events – where people go bald to raise awareness for kids' cancer and to raise money for lifesaving research – and serve as a valuable fundraising stream for the nonprofit.
"Partnering with Schick Xtreme has been a perfect match for St. Baldrick's signature head-shaving fundraisers," said Kathleen Ruddy, Chief Executive Office of the St. Baldrick's Foundation. "With people playing Shave the Day and watching their favorite streamers support the St. Baldrick's mission, it has encouraged a new audience of people to learn the importance of funding childhood cancer research. When you donate to St. Baldrick's, you don't donate to just one hospital, you support all institutions throughout the country who developing more effective, less toxic treatments for kids with cancer."
"We're thrilled to be partnering with St. Baldrick's for another year of virtual head-shaving to help raise funds for such an important cause," said Natalya Utesheva, Senior Brand Manager at Schick® Xtreme® and Edge®. "With Shave The Day, we are able to reinforce Schick Xtreme as the head-shaving razor of choice, while making it easy and fun for everyone to play Shave the Day and support lifesaving childhood cancer research from the comfort of their couch."
