Locks of Love & Bald for Bucks – All Four Campuses

Locks of Love is a non-profit organization that helps provide wigs to cancer patients who have lost their hair because of chemotherapy. Goin’ Bald for Bucks is a symbolic fundraiser for students to shave their heads to show support to cancer patients who have lost their hair from this life-altering disease. Over $2000 was raised in donations in 2011, and we hope with your support we can reach, if not surpass this goal again in 2012!

Donate money for a great cause and come out to watch fellow Sun Devils cut and shave their locks on Tuesday October 23rd from 11am-2pm. Locks of Love will be held on all four ASU campuses at the same time, so make sure to look for the location that is particular to your campus! This is a great way to unite us all as Sun Devils, to help out with this great cause, and to promote the spirit of Homecoming.  Click here to register to participate!
