Staff Member Donates Hair to Cancer Patients

After letting her hair grow for 4 years, Dana Tenerife, CUC's Project Support Specialist, cut it off and donated it to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths program.  Her locks will be used to make real hair wigs for women fighting cancer.  "I felt it was my duty to aid those less fortunate than me," explained Dana.  "Who knows, maybe one day I could have a need for just such an item." 

Dana says another reason she enjoyed doing this was for the "entertainment factor of walking into a hair salon and seeing the look of horror on the stylist's face when you tell her to cut 14 inches off!"

Although she has been growing her hair more than 4 years with donating it as her goal, it wasn't until just recently that Dana decided to donate it to Beautiful Lengths.  "I chose Pantene's program because I have several friends and family members who have fought and survived breast cancer," she explained.  While Beautiful Lengths makes real hair wigs for women fighting any form of cancer, many of their recipients are battling breast cancer.
