slide2.pngThe Amador STARS organization sponsored another successful “Great Amador Head Shave” event Tuesday. A host of hairy volunteers showed up for the 5th Annual fundraiser to support those with cancer. To be specific, the trimmings will be used to make hairpieces for children suffering from long-term medical hair loss due to cancer treatments like chemotherapy. Three volunteer hairstylists- Kelly, Chandra and Laura- were on hand to lovingly remove the donated hair.  One volunteer, David Carlson, has shaved his head each year since the programs inception in honor of those in his family who have been touched by cancer. The idea is the driving force behind Locks of Love, a non-profit organization created specifically for this purpose. Amador STARS provides support, transportation and resource services for local cancer patients.
