Donate Your Hair

Make a real difference for kids who have lost their hair. By donating your locks, you’re giving more than hair. You’re giving confidence. Every donation helps transform a child’s day-to-day life and makes them feel like themselves again.

Workplace Giving

Workplace giving allows employees to make small, regular donations directly from their pre-tax pay.

It’s easy, flexible and completely voluntary.
