Disney On Ice Sponsors Hair Donation For Children!


In honor of the new skating production Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream featuring Disney’s newest princess, the long golden-haired Rapunzel from Tangled, Disney On Ice is inviting the Las Vegas community to participate in a heartwarming hair donation campaign to benefit children suffering from medically-related hair loss. Join us and donate your hair (at least 10’’ inches long; either braided or in a ponytail) to Wigs for Kids. Every year WFK helps hundreds of children who are in need of their services, and you can help too!

The campaign kick-off event will be on Saturday, January 5th and will take place at Galleria at Sunset from 12 to 5 p.m. The community of Las Vegas is invited to come donate and join us that day. In appreciation for the kind-hearted gesture, the first 25 donors will receive a Rapunzel necklace** and each person donating hair will receive two FREE tickets* courtesy of Feld Entertainment to Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream playing in Las Vegas. Donations will continue to be accepted through January 15th at participating salons listed below and all donors are welcome to either get their hair cut at participating MasterCuts salons or at a salon of their choice and drop it off at one of the locations mentioned below. *Tickets available while supplies last

Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream will take your breath away at the Thomas & Mack Center from January 16th – 20th.  Audiences will behold an alluring aerialist act with Rapunzel’s golden locks, shimmering gowns that twinkle and twirl during Cinderella’s royal ball, a lighting display that illuminates all the fireflies in Tiana’s New Orleans bayou and a grand finale with all the Disney princesses.

Participating Salons
 When cutting hair to be donated to Wigs for Kids, please follow these simple steps:
1. Make sure hair is a minimum of 10-12 inches. Pull curly hair straight for a more accurate measurement.
2. Hair must be clean and dry.
3. Hair cannot be permed, color-treated, or highlighted. Temporary coloring or highlights that washout are acceptable.
4. Tie hair into at least four sections (six are even better) around the head for a more generous donation. Hair that is pulled into one ponytail or braid results in a loss of up to four inches of hair.
5. Make sure each ponytail or braid is tightly secured. Hair that is loosely wrapped tends to become loose when shipped, making it unusable. PLEASE be sure hair is tight and secured with several rubber bands.
6. Cut hair above rubber band.
7. Place the hair in a plastic bag or wrap it in tissue paper.

About Wigs for Kids
For over 30 years, Wigs for Kids has been providing Hair Replacement Systems and support for children who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy, radiation therapy, Alopecia, Trichotillomania, burns and other medical issues at no cost to children or their family’s hair loss can erode a child’s self-confidence and limit them from experiencing life the way children should. With an injured self-image, a child’s attitude toward treatment and their physical response to it can be negatively affected also. Wigs for Kids helps children suffering from hair loss look themselves and live their lives.
