MISHAWAKA, Ind. -- Penn High School will be holding a hair donation event this weekend that will help create wigs for children who are facing hair loss.
Donated hair will be sent to Children With Hair Loss which is a nonprofit organization that provides hair replacements at no cost to children or young adults facing hair loss.
"Anyone in the community can donate their hair, but the minimum is 8 inches of hair. Hair that is colored and permed is accepted," organizers said. "Local professional hair stylists will be donating their time to cut volunteers hair for free."
Because this is for hair donation, the service provided is just a simple cut, no style.
"This is seventh year for the event; it gets bigger and better every year," organizers said. "Last year, 33 members of the community donated more than 334 inches."
The event takes place Saturday, November 16, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
