We have named this "Shave It for The Cause".

We have set up a website to share the Shave It story, tell updates as they happen and track the progress of donations.

With a little help from our supporters we can definitely get to Regan's Goal of $10,000.

If you haven't already seen the event on Facebook, take a look. The event will be open for people to come see and bepart of on July 9th. Regan will have her head shaved by a professional representative of Hair Cuttery and wants to donate her hair to Lock of Love.
