Residex’s Pete Elbert to Donate Hair for ‘Locks of Love’ Program

Pete Elbert will be auctioning the opportunity to cut his signature pony tail. Proceeds will go Locks of Love, which provides hairpieces to children suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

CRANFORD, N.J. — If you know Pete Elbert you know his signature ponytail which is just one of the many things that make Pete unique. Elbert became a Residex employee almost two years ago when Residex purchased Elbert Specialty Products, originally founded by Pete and his father, Ed Elbert.

In addition to having 30 years of pest control experience, Elbert has a flair for photography and a true zest and love of life.

On June 25, at this year’s Florida Pest Management Association Convention & Exposition, Elbert will put his beloved pony tail on the auction block. The highest bidder will have the opportunity to cut Pete’s hair (in any style that they wish). The hair and the winning donation will go to Locks of Love, a Lake Worth, Fla.-based non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

The current bid, by Chris Donaghy, President of Residex, LLC, stands at $100. If you would like to make a bid on cutting Pete’s hair or just simply make a donation toward helping this worthy cause please contact Bobby Kossowicz at 800-998-2847 x516.
