Santilli and several students took the hot seat on stage to have their hair buzzed for charity. Kicking off the event was 1st-grade student Benjamin Grasso from Hammonton Early Childhood Education Center, who got to personally shave the first few locks off of Santilli.

"So, I decided that I will cut off my hair to go make wigs for them.
