Hair donation for cancer patients by USS Princeton crew
US sailors assigned to the USS Princeton donated locks of hair to the Strands of Hope campaign, helping in the recovery of Sri Lankan cancer survivors.
Four Sailors assigned to Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Princeton (CG 59) and a U.S. Embassy representative donated locks of hair, while on a port visit in Colombo. The volunteers all donated at least eight inches of hair to be used to make wigs for cancer patients.
The Sailors' hair donation is part of the Strands of Hope campaign and sponsored by the Cancer Care Association, an organization founded in 2003 and designed to help cancer patients and their families. In addition to using hair donations to create wigs, the organization provides cancer screenings, awareness seminars, nutrition counseling, and hospice care.
Captured here are images of the sailors at the salon.
