"We raised more than $800 at the Scouts shave fundraiser at the Grand," Mr Hawke said.
"All the cubs had a go on the clippers as well as my wife Katie. Sharon from Sharon's Haircut shop supervised. The kids had a fantastic night out, they had a disco and fun and it was hoot to shave off my beard," he added.
The night raised money for Careflight and the Wellington First Scout Group camp trailer.
