Patrons donated eight or more inches of hair to create wigs for cancer patients.

Jessie Sheltra, owner of Sheltra Insurance, shared how the event means to her.

“Every person I think deserves to have the resources that are available to them for their health, their well-being, mental health, and to feel nice…So that’s what this is all about,” Sheltra expressed.

Along with the donations, patrons received a $25 haircut with the proceeds going directly towards supporting wig-making for those battling cancer.
