It all started some kind of a joke when a group of friends from TSE during one of their fun nights at a pub, dared one guy, a Mexican named Gus Noriega to shave his hair and leave a mustache on his head. (he calls it Mexi-stache)He said he wouldn't do it unless it's for a good cause, until someone mentioned the tragic event that recently happened in the Philippines, the devastation left by super typhoon Haiyan (locally named Yolanda). And there, the idea came up to raise funds for the victims, with Gus sacrificing his well loved hair to be shaved off. The organizers, Bob Goshtasbi, Nicole Bell and Gus Noriega immediately shared their idea to the rest of the TSE family to make it a reality. The group raised more than $2500 and donated through UNICEF, this fund will be matched by the Canadian government.
In our own little way, as part of TSE family, we're happy that we were able to lend a helping a hand.
