Whiz Kid's Accomplishment: These brothers donated their long locks to Locks of Love.

Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness (what made him/her successful?) Waiting in the beauty salon for his prom date's hair appointment, Tripp Infinito decided to take the plunge and donate his hair to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that creates hairpieces for those suffering from long-term hair loss. After more than three years of growing his hair, Tripp was able to donate a foot of hair to the foundation. Younger brother Topher Infinito, inspired by his brother’s decision to donate, also cut off 10 inches of his hair for the Locks of Love foundation the next day. “Donating has been a part of my life for 30 years, but my boys took it upon themselves to follow in my footsteps. I am very proud of them,” said the boys’ mother, Lee Allocco. For demonstrating generosity and kindness in donating to an important organization, brothers Tripp and Topher are this week’s Whiz Kids.
