Locks of Love Drive
My name is Katie Ridder, and I am an 8th grade student at Valley Forge Middle School. On March 5, 2016 I am holding a Locks of Love hair drive for a Girl Scout project. I am trying to reach out in the community and get the word out to as many groups as possible.
Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that makes custom wigs, from real hair, for financially disadvantaged children with long term or permanent medical hair loss.I am trying to get as many people as possible to donate to this worthy cause, attached is a flyer with my contact information, as well as
more information on my project. Thank you for any support you can give!
