Calling all Relayers that would like to donate hair for wigs!! Is your hair longer than 8 inches? Want to get a fun summer 'do and help cancer patients at the same time? Here's your chance!!

Beautiful Lengths is a partnership between Pantene and the American Cancer Society, the largest non-profit health organization committed to saving lives from every cancer and improving the quality of life for people facing the disease. The role of Pantene is to help women grow long, strong,* beautiful hair and provide the funds to turn this hair into free, real-hair wigs for women with cancer. So far, Pantene has donated 24,000 free real-hair wigs to the American Cancer Society’s wig banks, which distribute wigs to cancer patients across the country.

Your 2013 Relay Entertainment Committee has arranged for local stylists to cut your hair (must be at least 8 inches in length) and then to do a simple "clean up" cut to make it look cute. Click here for the full list of requirements from Pantene.
