Posted on Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Alpha Phi Omega, Westminster College's coed service fraternity, will host a Locks of Love event Saturday, Nov. 14, from 2:30-6:30 p.m. in the Berlin Lounge of the McKelvey Campus Center.

Professional hairdressers will cut hair donations. A donation of at least 10 inches of hair will make a full wig for a child suffering from hair loss due to illness or medical conditions. Shorter donations will be accepted and sold to offset wig manufacturing costs.

Hair must be clean, dry, and unbleached.

In addition to hair donations, Alpha Phi Omega will accept monetary contributions for Locks of Love, a not-for-profit organization.

Alpha Phi Omega is a national coed service fraternity dedicated to leadership, friendship, and service. Members are required to provide a minimum of 12 hours of service each semester. The Westminster chapter's projects include Haunted Bio Trail, on-campus trash clean-up, Quad-a-Thon, Canoe-a-Thon, and Overlook Medical Clinic programs.
