BIRMINGHAM - AL -

Those who got a new hairdo Saturday also had the opportunity to donate to a special cause. Paul Mitchell XCell Academy and Sports Clips salons all participated in the Third Annual "Shear Kindness" haircut-a-thon. The businesses donated a portion of their proceeds to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama.

Ronald McDonald House provides temporary housing for sick or injured children and their families who must travel to Birmingham for medical care.

One-hundred percent of donations went to benefit the Ronald McDonald House and to provide funding for the new Ronald McDonald family room at DCH Regional Medical Center.
