HELP!!!!

I need some catchy phrases to combine two idea's that I have.

I want to do a HWC Online Fundraiser show and combine that with a Locks of Love Donation. I have at least 14 inches of hair that I can cut off and donate to locks of love, so I want to have every $100 in sales count towards 1 inch of hair that I donate.

I plan to submit this as a HWC show and then donate my commision to the local Relay for Life along with my Locks of Love donation.

I want to send out a special email via CC with an invitation to place orders.

Any ideas?
 
Nice idea. Sorry, I'm no help with a catchy title right now though, I'll let you know if something comes to me.
 
Have you researched Locks of Love? My daughter donated 10 inches last year... unfortunately we didn't do the research until afterwords. You might want to look into it before you break out the scissors.

Best of luck with your fundraiser!
 
I'm tired; so all I've come up with (with Cinderella playing in the backgound and one ear on my daughter) is

"Locks of Love to Help Whip Cancer" Fund raiser.
or
"an Inch per $100" fund raiser



Best of luck!

What do you mean? I hadn't heard anything bad about it yet?
 
Janet - here's something I found with a quick google search. I have a friend planning to grow hers one more year and donate it to LOL, so I want to make sure she does her research, too. Overall, it just makes you aware of where the hair is really going and who will truly benefit from it. You may decide to donate it to another charity that benefits the people you are trying to help.

Thanks Cathy - I'll read up! DD was growing hers.
 
WOW Cathy! I knew about the hair chemicals being a no-no, but had no idea about the rest of the story. Kinda sad.
