Jamie and Barbara Staring took the afternoon off work to watch their 9-year old daughter Kelsie get a hair cut.
But it wasn't just any hair cut.
Kelsie was among 20 students at Codrington Public School who had their long locks snipped Wednesday to donate to make wigs for cancer patients as part of the school's Cuts for Cancer event.
"We're very proud of her," said Kelsie's dad Jamie.
Five stylists took the stage to volunteer their talents for the cause.
It was the second time Kelsie had donated her hair and she says it makes her feel good.
"There are some people in the world that are going through cancer and they're losing their hair through the treatment and I want to donate my hair to them," said Kelsie.
Morgan Dancey,10, was donating her hair for the first time and was a bit nervous.
"I wanted to give my hair away fro a great cause and to make other people happy that they have hair," said Morgan.
It was the third time for eight-year old Delaney Schwarz who was "nervous but not that nervous."
Delaney was joined by her mom for the cuts for cancer, one of five adults including another parent and three staff.
The Codrington Cuts for Cancer also raises money for Gilda's Club Simcoe Muskoka.
Delaney welcomed the cut because shorter hair is cooler in the summer.
But her main motivation was a lost loved one.
"My grandfather had cancer and he passed away from it," said Delaney.
The hair is being donated to one of three organizations that makes wigs for cancer patients.
