UPDATE: Behind the Scene: Cameron Mulder, The Clean Shaven Man.

In November, Cameron Mulder pledged to shave his trademark ‘stash’ if he could raise enough funds to send a kid to Camp Huronda. BScene, The Devil’s Bench and Cameron are pleased to announce he smashed his original goal of $835, and was able to raise $2200. This means he is able to send two local kids, Kendra and Zak, both 9, to camp this upcoming summer.

“I posted on Facebook that no one can really understands how much this means to me. Everyone’s like, ‘oh you’re doing such a nice thing for other people”. They maybe don’t realize they have done an amazing thing for me. I feel good helping others.”

– Cameron Mulder

At an event at the Devil’s Bench on Tuesday, December 22nd, Cameron had his moustache clipped by the two kids he’s sending to camp. The final touches were added by his Mom and he walked away a clean shaven man. Zak and Kendra were more then happy to take part, and are excited to be able to attend camp.

Congratulations Cameron!
