Dad Takes the Challenge

June 5, 2024

After shaving his head for years, Carl’s boys challenged him to grow his hair for donation. He accepted the challenge and has spent the last 3 years growing it out to donate to Wigs for Kids. Now that he’s ready to have his ponytail harvested, Carl has decided to raise money to cover the production cost of 2 wigs!

You can help Carl reach his fundraising goal by visiting https://bit.ly/3VuQjNc.
