About:
The game Hair Havoc campaign started in late February and ran through the end of March. It was an online campaign where all the team members were posting their “game Hair” and asking friends and family to make online donations. All 26 members of the team helped with the online campaign. In addition, there was a youth clinic that the girls conducted and involved the younger girls with the Game Hair Challenge.
They hosted a shopping event with a local store with a portion of proceeds going to HEADStrong.
Then they hosted a charity game with all proceeds going to HEADStrong . They sold refreshments and accepted donations at the gate: They also designed and sold tee shirts for the game.
The team raised over $8500 ( about $1200 of that was the shilling night and the game) and were the top fundraising team for the campaign which in total raised over $170,000 and the Lynbrook Owls were recognized by the HEADStrong Foundation as the first place out of about 160 teams.
