Shear Hope's Blurbs |
About me:
Please visit our website at www.shearhope.org!
Shear Hope was started in 2005 by Jeffrey and Molly Young and currently only operates in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
In a nutshell: we ask ladies to shave off their hair and raise money to support their brave decision. We ask that women agree to shave their hair at a #6 guard (3/4 inch hair length) or less. We do this for a couple of reasons:
First, we want to honor all women who lose their hair for medical reasons. We want ladies with cancer to see that there are hundreds of women that will stand at their side and say, “As your sister I will walk with you and show the world that we are beautiful with or without our hair, and that it is who we are inside that counts.”
Second, any hair starting at the head and ending past the chin is over the 10- to 12-inch limit for Locks of Love. All participants' hair will be sent to Locks of Love where it will be made into hair pieces for young ladies who can not grow hair for medical reasons.
When a woman commits to shave off her hair, she also commits to raise financial support for this event. We ask that each lady do the following: 1) shave her hair to at least a 6 guard length, 2) donate a minimum of 13 inches of hair, and 3) try to raise at least $200 prior to her event. All funds raised for Shear Hope will be used to assist in paying for financial responsibilities and other needs submitted to us by those dealing with cancer. The participant will be featured on the Hope Givers link on our site which will highlight her reasons for wanting to contribute to Shear Hope, the funds she hopes to contribute, and a "before" picture of the participant with her hair. Then anyone can make donations to Shear Hope in her name. After her event, pictures will be added to the site chronicling her event and showing a final picture of her without her hair.
