Donating long hair

[miraclaire.livejournal.com]

I have very long hair (hip length).  I've been growing it for 7 years, and am sick of it.  I would like to get my hair cut short, and would like to donate my hair.  My question is, are there any hair-cutting places in the area that might

a) do a good job and
b) might give me a discount for donating my hair? 

Money's a bit tight right now (as it is for many, I'm sure) and it would be nice to not spend much on this. 

I looked in the old posts under the "hair" tag and didn't find anything that quite answered my question. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

wash it good, dry it, braid it, hair elastics on both ends, and take a knife to it, Starbuck style. it'll look bad ass :) poor person's french bob :>

then you can google for the best hair donation place, and get a tax break? mmm!

that said, er, call children's hospital in boston and ask for some info? they might know. or perhaps dana farber? or mmm, do they still have Ronald House?
