"Save the Hair" Campaign |
| |
Dates: Thursday, May 01, 2008 to Friday, July 04, 2008 |
| |
I'm trying to raise money for cancer so I decided to add a little twist. I want to raise $5000 and am willing to shave my head for those that don't have a choice. My hair is currently down to the lowest part of my back. If I do raise the money, I'll cut my hair enough to donate it. My deadline is July 4th 2008. Over the past few years I've been given approximately 300 pins from customers and people I never met, so I've started my campaign by donating the first $300. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
