The 2009 Stow Relay for Life will be participating in Locks of Love Donations this year.
Participants who wish to donate to Locks of Love will be presented to the Relay for Life event participants on May 30th at 3:00pm and can walk the track to collect donations until 5:30pm when volunteers from Gavin Scott Salons and Hair Innovations will do the cutting.
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides vacuumn fitted hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. The prothesis they provide helps to restore self-esteem and confidence, enabling these children to face the world and their peers.
Donated hair is evaluated for its usefulness according to the following guidelines:
*it must be at least 10", clean and dry
*it must be bundled in a ponytail or braid
*bleached hair cannot be used
*hair that has been dyed or permed can be used
Monetary donations to Locks of Love are tax deductible.
