Hahn donated the hair that was cut to create the mohawk to Locks of Love. The group collects hair to be made into wigs for cancer patients."I wanted to take advantage of the many years I've invested in growing my hair, so I decided to use it to raise money and awareness for charity," Hahn said.Hahn's band and other groups staged a concert Friday night to benefit Locks of Love and the Omaha charity Project Nightlights.
