As part of its commitment to serve the community, two Woodland Hills schools held the fifth annual "Pony Up Cut-a-Thon" Friday to donate approximately 30 feet of hair to cancer patients.
Serrania Charter for Enriched Studies Elementary School and Woodland Hills Academy Middle School had an outdoor assembly where 43 students, parents and teachers had their ponytails cut off by 30 hair stylists who volunteered for the event.
Approximately 700 students supported the movement at the assembly, with many wearing pink “Pony Up” beanies in solidarity with those who donate their hair. The donors and volunteers also wore matching pink “Pony Up” shirts.
The event also commemorated those who have died as a result from cancer with a moment of silence.
