Procter & Gamble hosted a hair donation event in support of the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program, and in partnership with The Children’s Theatre of Cincinnati’s March 2012 production of “Rapunzel! Rapunzel! A Very Hairy Fairy Tale.”
More than 120 P&G employees, their family and friends and local community members gathered at the P&G Corporate Headquarters to each donate their hair to benefit the program.
Pantene celebrity hair stylist Tippi Shorter was joined by 30 local hair stylists and characters from the “Rapunzel” production to cut the ponytails that were donated to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program.
In addition to the hair cutting, representatives from the American Cancer Society spoke at yesterday’s event to share their appreciation for the program and those who donate their hair.
Created in 2006, Pantene Beautiful Lengths inspires people to grow, cut and donate their healthy hair to create free, real-hair wigs for women who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. To date, Pantene Beautiful Lengths has received more than 311,000 hair donations. The American Cancer Society distributes the wigs through their nationwide network of wig banks at no cost. Since the start of the program, more than 18,000 real-hair wigs have been provided to female cancer patients.
This event kicked-off the countdown to the first ever “National Donate Your Hair Day” on April 27, benefiting the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program. Pantene and Seventeen Magazine have partnered to create this annual day of giving where people nationwide are encouraged to cut and donate their hair.
