Buzzing for Change Locks of Love Event
Buzzing for Change (B4C) will hold its Locks of Love event on Wednesday, April 14, 2010, from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Quad (between Chestnut and Market Streets and 32nd and 33rd Streets).
During a B4C event, participants shave their heads or cut their hair to raise awareness of cancer and to show support for individuals and the families of those suffering from cancer. The hair is donated to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs for children who lose their hair due to disease.
B4C participants are asked to recruit monetary sponsorship for the Child Life Fund at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), a fund that provides fun activities such as dance, music and art therapy and video games for children undergoing cancer treatment at the hospital. This year’s B4C goal is to raise more than $10,000 for CHOP.
The first 200 participants will receive a free B4C t-shirt. Food, giveaways and music will be available for all participants.
To volunteer time or to have their hair cut or buzzed, members of the Drexel community can register online at http://www.buzzing4change.
