Area fighting back against cancer
Two events in the coming days will help to raise money and awareness for cancer, and all our residents have to do is make a contribution. While monetary contributions certainly would be appreciated by organizers, much of the participation surrounds the donation of something much different; your hair. Wednesday night will see the return of St. Baldrick’s at the Wyngate Senior Living Community. Beginning at 6 p.m., people from our area will get their heads shaved in return for pledges from the community to help raise money for childhood cancer research. This is a big event for our area, often with our local police officers and firefighters participating. On Saturday, heaven, a hair salon in the Burgettstown area will be coordinating its annual Locks of Love event, during which those donating a ponytail of 10 inches or more can get their hair cut for free.
