CHERIE Birks has taken almost 10 years to grow her 70cm of golden tresses.<\/p>\n
It will only take minutes to lose them at cut4cafs, a live haircut fundraiser for Cafs and Variety Children\u2019s Charity.<\/p>\n
Ms Birks, Ballarat business owner of The Aroma Co, said she wants to raise funds for local charity Cafs, Children and Family Services.<\/p>\n
\u201cCafs support some of our communities most vulnerable members with a diverse range of programs and services,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe money raised will help kick off a new art therapy program helping kids rebuild from trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her hair will be bundled up and donated to Variety Children\u2019s Charity who facilitate hair donations to manufacture wigs for kids with cancer and alopecia.<\/p>\n
A charity auction at the event will further add money to the donation pile for Cafs.<\/p>\n
cut4cafs is on Thursday, 13 June at Housey Housey, 12 Armstrong Street North, Ballarat from 7pm to 9pm.<\/p>\n
Tickets are $38 and include a glass of bubbles on arrival, canap\u00e9s, booking fee and gift bag.<\/p>\n
