<div dir="ltr">I'll second Britta on this; as I understand it, the
Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is in partnership with a couple groups:
"A Child's Voice Foundation" (a.k.a. "Angel Hair for
Kids") and "Pantene Beautiful Lengths". These two groups
accept the hair donations to make wigs for cancer patients; "Angel
Hair..." for children and "Pantene..." for adults. I think
which one of the two you donate your hair to is your choice ultimately (as
Britta mentioned, they have slightly different requirements), but the
fundraising part always and only benefits the CCS. When I create the
campaign, it will be the CCS hosting the team website and providing the
paper forms (if needed) as well as tax receipts for the fundraising
efforts. <br>
<br>As for the event itself, we'd settle on a day sometime down the
road and either make our way to a predetermined local salon (we've got
our pick; there are a handful throughout the city that participate in this
program) or we'd host some kind of event ourselves and have them come
to us. Either way, they'll take care of all the hairdressing then and
there. <br>
<div><br></div><div>I do want to point out that <i>you don't have to
donate hair</i> to participate on a team. In 2007 we only had one donor
(Tom), the other handful of us with too little hair to donate simply
pledged to help in the fundraising and shave our heads when it was all
over. I was working in IT at a local college back home at the time, so we
made a show of the event. Here's a PowerPoint of how it all went down
one fine afternoon in May in the entrance hall of my alma mater: <a
href="http://1drv.ms/1klpTYG" target="_blank">http://1drv.ms/1klpTYG</a><br>
<br></div><div>One thing I forgot to mention is timeline. Doug donated last
summer, Britta mid-last-winter and I was looking to do my donation within
the next month. We're all kinda out of step, but Britta seems keen on
giving this a go when she's got more hair, so, Darcy/Justin, you can
hold off on this round if you actually want to donate. Otherwise, if
there's anyone on board with joining me on this go-round and getting
buzzed for Makers/Cancer, let me know! I'll also be at ModLab tomorrow
night if you'd like to chat me up about it then.<br>
<br></div><div>I'm very encouraged by the response so far, thank you
all! I'm pretty excited to see where this will
go!<br></div><div><br><b>Jason</b><br>

<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello all,<br><br></div>As some of you
may have noticed, I have lots of hair (maybe not on top, but it is
indisputably long). I've been growing it out with the goal of donating
it for the Cancer Society as thanks for their help with someone near and
dear to me: my sister, who, while she lost her hair to chemotherapy,
ultimately won the war and has been cancer-free for over 10 years now.
Amongst many things, they gave her hair when she had none, so I wanna give
some back while I still have it to give :D<br>
</div><br></div>So, why am I telling you all this? Well, while I'm
prepared to go it alone and fundraise as well as make my hair donation as
an individual, as the saying goes: there's strength in numbers, so
I'm putting this call out to you, my fellow Makers, to team up with me.
I know the spirit's out there; a couple of Makers in our ranks -
namely, Britta and Doug - have already donated their hair within the past
year, but even if you don't have enough hair to donate, we can still
join forces. Back in 2007, I was part of a "Shave a Nerd"
campaign where we only had one hair donor among us, but the other dozen or
so on the team joined in on the fundraising and had our heads shaved in
solidarity. I'm aiming to do something like that for artengine.
It's fun, it's for a good cause and it's a chance to garner
some free publicity of sorts for our humble Makerspace. I'm open to
suggestions on the Team name, but "Maker Haire" feels right. I
haven't put together a team page or registered anything yet; I wanted
to put this out there as a feeler before I took that next step. So,
who's with me?<br>
