The “Hair Today Gone Tomorrow” campaign has reached the halfway mark in its $100,000 fundraising goal. Organized by the Community Foundation of Ottawa Valley, the initiative has drawn strong community support. More than $50,000 has been raised so far, with donations going toward local charities. Organizers say momentum remains strong as the campaign continues.

The campaign wraps up on May 31, and Minns urges continued public support. Donations of any size are welcome; tax receipts are issued for gifts of $25 or more.
