One in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in her lifetime and nearly 60% of women regard hair loss as the single worst side effect of cancer treatment.

Pantene Beautiful Lengths was created to bring people together to share their strength and donate their beautiful, healthy hair to create free wigs for women who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment. A group of women from the Indianapolis area has come together to organize a ponytail cutting event to provide Pantene Beautiful Lengths with ponytails needed to create these wigs.

This event will take place at Valley Mills Christian Church on Sunday, January 11th, 2009. Our goal: a football field length of ponytails to send to Pantene. That is 450-8in. ponytails!! Six ponytails are used in creating one wig. Won't you join with 5 people you know to provide a beautiful woman with a simple gift that means so much??

We realize not everyone will have eight inches of hair by January. We will be accepting "pledges" to donate your ponytail once it has reached the required 8inches needed by Pantene. Additionally, donating hair may not be for you; but, there are many, many other ways for you to help! Much help will be needed to spread the word, collect donations, man the event, recruit stylists, etc. Any and all help and support for this event is very much appreciated.

For now....GET THE WORD OUT!! We need everyone telling their friends about this day. They don't even have to live in Indianapolis to participate. We have already received a ponytail all of the way from Oregon and know of other women who will either be traveling here to participate on January 11th or will be sending us their ponytails to be counted into our goal.
