Locks for Love

---

Locks for Love is a Valentine’s Day-themed event held in February, where participants raise money and donate 8 or more inches of hair to Angel Hair for Kids. Angel Hair for Kids is a program run by A Child’s Voice Foundation that provides wigs for children with medically-induced hair loss. Angel Hair for Kids provides all wigs free of cost for financially disadvantaged families, which is astonishing considering that 10-12 ponytails and over $800 are required to make one hair prosthesis. These wigs help to improve the confidence, well-being, and quality of life of sick children – it’s amazing what a simple hair donation can do for someone else!

At the event, professional hairstylists from Eliegante Hair Design & Spa, a renowned hair salon in Hamilton, provide free haircuts to our participants in order to help their beauty & courage shine through :) The minimum donation is $75, but our participants never cease to amaze us with their fundraising efforts - during the 2017 event alone we were able to raise record-breaking $8,600 for this meaningful cause!

This year, Style at Mac, McMaster's fashion club, will be donating their fashion show proceeds to Locks for Love. We are so thankful for their donation to such an important cause. If you would like to attend Style at Mac's fashion show on March 24, 2018, please follow this link to purchase a ticket: https://www.styleatmac.ca/tickets
