Back-to-School Wig Out a success

Sanford recently hosted The Incredible Back-to-School Wig Out, sponsored by J. Christian Studio of Hockessin. More than 400 people attended this fund-raising event designed to support the National Alopecia Areata Foundation and Children with Hairloss—organizations that use donated hair to create and provide hair pieces to children with medically related hair loss. J. Christian stylists and staff members donated their time and talent in a multitude of ways which included managing, organizing, and publicizing the event, cutting and styling hair, and providing free haircuts for those who donated 8 inches or more of hair to the benefiting organizations, Local businesses and individuals donated products, services, and volunteer time. Proceeds from the Wig Out included 16 donated ponytails totaling 168″ of hair, and $3,200. Special thanks to everyone who supported this effort.
