Apparently there is no hair shortage in Moorestown Township. Emily Lubin, a local advocate for the Wigs for Kids nonprofit group, has accepted and donated three more ponytails to the national organization.
Lubin collects pony tails from local residents to donate to Wigs for Kids. The national organization creates wigs out of donated human hair for children and teenagers who lose their hair due to chemotherapy. To this date Lubin has collected more than 300 ponytails from local girls and has donated several of her own.
Alex Battaglia, a senior at Moorestown High School, Kira Goldstein, a sixth grader at the Moorestown Upper Elementary School, and Andrea Fong, a seventh grader at the William Allen Middle School, all donated ponytails this past month to Lubin.
Lubin has already sent thank you notes to the donors as well as their certificates and the ponytails are being mailed this week.
