SHARKEY’S CUTS FOR KIDS PARTNERS WITH HAIRTOSTAY TO HELP SUBSIDIZE SCALP COOLING TREATMENT FOR LOW INCOME CANCER PATIENTS​

A commitment to fund treatment for one new cancer patient for every new Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids® franchise!

HairToStay is the first and only national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income cancer patients afford scalp cooling, a treatment that can dramatically reduce chemotherapy induced hair loss. Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids® launched a Targeted Fund in 2022 to support cancer patients who cannot afford this treatment.

Thanks to the generosity and commitment of Scott Sharkey, Sharkey’s Cuts for Kids® will offer eligible patients financial support for this life-changing treatment that is often not covered by health insurance in the U.S. Scalp cooling—and the preservation of hair —helps foster normalcy during a challenging time. Patients can maintain a sense of privacy and control, which in turn can contribute to well-being and healing. Chemo-induced hair loss is one of the most devastating side effects of cancer treatment. In fact, at least 8% of female patients actually turn down chemotherapy due to fear of hair loss. To date, HairToStay has subsidized over 4,000 individuals across the country.
