A Maungatapu man shaved his head in honour of his wife Rachel, who died of cancer earlier this year.
Dean Wilson joined dozens of others on Saturday at the Mount Beach Bald 2014, a fundraiser for the Child Cancer Foundation, which raised $40,000 in the Bay this year.
Mr Wilson, who lost his wife Rachel to cancer earlier this year, said she was the main reason he had the shave.
Last year, Mrs Wilson shaved off her own hair, and was able to raise $10,000.
"Had she been with me again this year I am sure she would have done it again," he said.
