It was truly touching over the last few days to watch the emotion and amount of money raised at Barrett Jackson through the donations of huge amounts of money raised during the auctions.
Garry Bennett also needs to be congratulated for his " locks for life" donation, of his 15 year growth of his ponytail.
I hope that this is just the beginning for Barrett-Jackson, it would be nice to see the donations keep on climbing.

I gotta agree...Gary Bennett should be commended....
The guy who bought the car said that if Gary hacked it off for the Locks of Love charity, then he'd give $10,000 to the charity personally. Gary Bennett's a hair-farmin' stud. Most dudes would have backed down (I would have!).
The auction can be a huge greedfest, but you know, those people have used that to their advantage and raised a fortune for all kinds of cool charities - most of 'em kid related.

I agree - Gary Bennett should be commended. The dude who bought the car said that if Gary hacked it off for the charity, then he'd match it with a personal check payable to the charity for $10K.
The auction can be a greed-fest, but they use their venue to raise a boatload of cash for all kinds of children's charities.
Many dudes would prolly have backed down (I would have!).
