Want to be a ‘Mullet Warrior’? 51��Ƶto host haircut fundraiser supporting youth empowerment

Have you always wanted a mullet? Now you can rock a business-in-the-front-and-party-in-the-back look for a good cause through a haircut fundraiser hosted by 51��Ƶ.

Participants – who can also opt for a simple haircut of their choosing – can March 24 at Georgian’s Barrie Campus:

Trim Trooper – get a simple haircut and make a donation that day.
Mullet Warrior – choose a mullet cut style and raise money with the promise that you’ll rock it until the end of March. All Mullet Warriors will get a coupon for a free reshape cut in April.

All the money raised will go to support Georgian’s collaborations with and .

Specifically, it will help fund programs aimed at empowering youth and young adults:

51��Ƶand Eliabeth Fry’s Shift Disturbers Changing Course program aims to support local youth facing barriers to postsecondary education or meaningful employment through a unique motorcycle makeover pilot program.
Global MINDS Collective’s mindfulness teacher training certification will be integrated into the Changing Course program.

These programs provide participants with essential skills and tools to navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and create a pathway toward a successful and fulfilling future. Participants engage in workshops, mentorship, and hands-on learning experiences that foster personal growth and emotional well-being.

This fundraiser is more than a haircut — it’s a way to support youth in gaining the skills and guidance they need to move forward in life. Every dollar raised helps provide experiential learning, mentorship, and experiences that make a real difference in their future.
– Nicole Norris, Director, Social Innovation at Georgian

Last year, this campaign raised $5,000. This year, the goal is to top that by getting 25 Mullet Warriors and 50 Trim Troopers signed up for a fresh spring cut.
