Pocono Mountain East High School raised money over three weeks for Locks of Love, which creates wigs for ill children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In addition to the money, some students donated 10-inch clumps of their own hair for the wigs.
Pocono Mountain East senior Monica Dilger won the opportunity to donate her hair by raising the most amount of money over three weeks with her teammate, physical education teacher Tom Rowan.
Seniors Melissa Altemose, Hannah Eckles, Erin Snyder and Shaina Brenna also donated hair. The hair will eventually be made into wigs and given to ill children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
