You know, I would want to say no, but seriously...$50,000 is more money than a lot of people earn in a year. I'm POSITIVE it can buy you a few wigs to wear for a few months. It takes me about a year to grow 6 inches of hair, and I normally donate to locks of love (skip out on trims for 2-3 years and then whop it all off at once). If the hair went to a good cause, I'd feel good about it. Hey, spend $1,000-$5,000 on some REALLY good wigs/extensions and really, past the first 3 months or until your hair is long enough for extensions, it won't matter. (look at britney spears. Besides those initial pictures ... she basically looked normal, hair-wise, with all her wigs and extensions. I mean...how long is her hair by now anyway? when did it grow back and when did she stop using extensions, or does she still? you can't tell!)
at the least, it would be optional instead of required as for chemo patients.
