The hairstyling event was all part of a fundraiser for ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Many of the Checkers’ front office and staff members sported Mohawks at the game and there was a barber on site to let fans join in on the fun.

A portion of the ticket sales from Wednesday's game will go toward purchasing a speech device for Fort Mill native Brent Lewis, a Checkers season ticket holder who has been diagnosed with ALS.
