Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer

06/06/2026

It was a great day to celebrate Kristen Zubko’s 10th Anniversary in business as one of the TOP Financial Advisors and Offices in Canada with Edward Jones! We are so proud of her accomplishments and highly recommend her to look after your financial affairs.

Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer was honoured to once again provide another BBQ, 10 years after doing the first one with them for their Grand Opening!

Together, with the incredible support of the community, we were able to raise over $1,150 for our cause.

Thank you!!

A big thank you to Maple Ag & Outdoor for allowing our Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer Local Initiatives Program to BBQ for their June 1st event!
We couldn’t have done it without the help of family friends (and Brayden’s Godparents) Garry and Cyndie!
$1650 was raised to support people on their cancer journey.
Our sincere appreciation to everyone who came out to kick off our 2026 BBQ Fundraiser Season!

Today we kicked off our 29th Annual Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer Headshaving Season with our First Participant!

In May 2023, Ed Zapshalla was diagnosed with colorectal and kidney cancer. After going through radiation, surgeries, chemotherapy, and recovery, he decided that he wanted to give back to the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan through an organization that helped him and his family during a very difficult time.

He’s been growing his hair out for this cause and is so grateful for the support that he received. In fact, his goal of raising $5,000 was exceeded by over an additional $2600, causing him to shave, not only his head, but his beard as well!

You can still support his efforts by making a donation here - https://cancerfoundationsask.akaraisin.com/ui/CloseCuts2026/p/0b0ea83d160345599ac80a4d74574be1

We are so thankful for his participation this year, along with Crystal Sarafincean who volunteered to provide her professional services to complete the shave with excellence.
