Charities for 2017
Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.
As we have in the past, we will also continue our support of the world-renowned climate research conducted at the Mount Washington Observatory. In homage to the mountain’s elevation – 6,288 feet – our event donates 6.288% of all proceeds to the Mount Washington Observatory and all of the super-cool things they do.
To take a peek at the view on top of the mountain right now, visit www.mountwashington.org.
