Students cut hair to raise money for cancer research
Hair will be made into wigs

CUMBERLAND, Maine —Dozens of students, teachers and other volunteers at Greely High School in Cumberland are chopping off their hair for a good cause.
In what the school has dubbed "The Pantene Beautiful Lengths Ponytail-Cutting Event," volunteer hairdressers from around Cumberland County spent Tuesday afternoon cutting hair that will then be donated to an organization that turns it into wigs.
Those wigs will then be distributed to women who have lost hair due to cancer treatment.

"I love doing this. I've done it two times already. This is my third time," said a student Meredith Clark.

The event is sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

"I think it says that our students really care and we feel whatever little bit you can do to help, you don't need to be personally touched by cancer to make a difference," said teacher Katie Dexter.
