Donation helps those in need

A local man recently made a generous donation.

After letting it grow for four years, Joshua Napper's hair reached his lower back. Napper decided it was time for a change and made the decision to cut his hair.  

Napper, age 22, wanted something good to come from the haircut, so he made the choice to donate his hair to Locks of Love. Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that provides custom-made hair prosthetics to disadvantaged children with hair loss due to medical conditions, such as cancer treatment, burn trauma or alopecia. The wigs and hairpiece are offered free of charge, and children may receive a new one every two years, until they turn 21. 

Napper visited The City in Springfield, where he had 16 inches of his hair cut off.

Joshua Napper and his family, parents Roger and Mary Napper, are the new owners of the Branson Collector Car Auction. Held twice per year, the next Branson Car Auction is set for April 11 and 12, 2025, at the Branson Hilton Convention Center.
