Haircut campaign supports two causes

 In Community

Since high school, Luke Atkinson has been regularly growing his hair long and then donating it to make wigs for people with cancer.
For his sixth donation, Atkinson, who lives in Duntroon and works for Creemore Springs Brewery, coordinated a fundraising campaign with Collingwood General and Marine Hospital.
His goal is to raise $2,000 to help with the purchase a new Fluoroscopy X-ray Unit for the hospital. He has raised over $600 so far.
Creemore Springs Brewery stepped up with a pledge to match every donation made by fellow brewery employees.
The hair is donated to the Canadian Cancer Society in order to help make a wig for someone in need. It takes seven ponytails of eight inches or more to make a wig.
“With 2020 being less than a stellar year, I hope that the donations raised for the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital will go a long way, and make some people smile,” said Atkinson.
Although Atkinson has already gone under the clippers, the fundraising campaign continues until Dec. 31. Donate at cgmhf.com/event/luke-atkinson-haircut-fundraiser.
