A Great Success. Thank You so much to everyone for pulling together for a great fundraiser! We collected 12 ponytials for Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths Campaign, $200 for a local woman battling cancer & $500+ to the Hewlett House.

Our hairdressers were wonderful, the raffle prizes donated were extaordinary & the volunteers & donations surpassed expectations.

I really appreciate everyone’s help & goodwill! You are all amazing!

I there! I wanted to let you know that any donations that are collected during the fundraiser will be given to The Hewlett House in Hewlett, Long Island. I was fortunate enough to be invited to see what the Hewlett House is all about & the staff is lovely. This house is a sanctuary for people with cancer and their families. They offer support groups, networking with others in their situation, yoga, no cost wigs and much more.

All this generousity & support is given in a beautiful old converted home with beautiful gardens & walkways, a warm kitchen, huge dining room table & arm chairs, fireplaces & a library.

This home is a free, non-profit community center open to the public. There is no fee for any of their offerings. Through friendship & socialization, families & friend have a place of comfort & therapy to guide them.

Please visit their websit at www.hewletthouse.org to see more of the wonderful things they provide. Also, read about it’s Executive Director, Geri Barrish, who herself is a breast cancer survivor. She dedicates her life to this cause. Thank You, Geri!

Hello world!

Hi Everyone. Thank You for visiting & please excuse me, but I am new to the world of “blogging”. I have started this site for the following reason:

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month I am getting the community together to donate ponytails to Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths Campaign. Pantene has joined with the wig manufacturer, HairUWear, in order to make NO COST wigs for women with cancer. I am holding this “awareness-raiser” on Sunday October 28^{th 11am- 5 pm.}

at Runyons Roadside Tavern in East Meadow. See the Runyons website to the right of this page.

You can visit www.pantene.com and click on Beautiful Lengths to get more information on their wig making process & the requirements.

This fundraiser is going to work like this: We will have refreshments served throughout the entire funraiser donated from Runyons & local businesses.There will be prize raffles throughout the day. Attending will be an advocate to spread info & answer any questions referring to breast cancer & women’s health. Literature will also be provided. We are looking for women & girls to donate their hair. You can visit the website www.pantene.com to view details on the requirements for hair donation. This is the same concept as the well-known charity Locks for Love. Except Pantene is making NO-COST wigs for women with cancer. What a wonderful way to help a woman in such a time of need and compassion. So, with the community, we hope to pull off a spectacular fundraiser.

Hair donators are needed to donate 8 or more inches of hair in a ponytail. The donators will receive a haircut from a professional hair stylist from a local salon.The donators will also receive a thank you gift and recognition from Pantene.

Hair stylists are needed to volunteer any amount of time they are able. Anything would be a great help. Depending on the amount of donators, each donator will get aprox. 25 minutes for their cut.

Helper volunteers are needed to help spread the word! This could even be a great way for an older child to get community service for school or church, or for anyone that may have some free time to donate! Raffle Items are needed to be raffled off to our friends & community.

Thank You to anyone who visits this page & please call me if you have any questions or ideas. Please contact me asap if you would like to donate or lend a hand.

or Just Come Down & Have A Cup Of Coffee!

A Community together can achieve wonderful things.

Thank You Sincerely!

Jennifer Grasso
