Hey there! My name is Jenna Elliot. I am a local barber/hairstylist/ and an ambassador for the non-profit organization Wigs For Kids. I am not only a hair donation specialist but I also perform a service of taking measurements of a child’s head who is missing hair due to medical issues. This year alone there is a huge increase of children in need of hair. So this November, I will be hosting 13 fundraising events spread across 4 states, with the majority taking place in California! Everything from a Pizza Project to a golf tournament to a Brews Bands and Cuts show at a local Brewery. I am hoping to get the word out to our community as for there is something for everyone to enjoy throughout this week of events. The unique part about all of this is that I am relying on the public to share and spread the word through mouth. Visit: Wigs For Kids Wigs For Kids on Instagram and Facebook
