John Frieda along with some top salons in Boston, have launched HAIRraising, an organization that brings together the salon industry to raise money for Children’s Hospital Boston. HAIRraising plans to raise funds during the month of May and are looking for salons all over the country to participate.
Children’s Hospital is one of the best and biggest medical research hospitals in the world. However, due to the current economic climate, donations have slowed and that has impacted the works of Children’s Hospital Boston that rely heavily on charitable contributions.
John Frieda says, “We in the salon industry have a unique ability to lend a “helping hand” and make sure our children continue to receive the care they so desperately need. “ His initiative in the form of HAIRraising, plans to bring the salon community together to raise money for a critical cause, and a chance (for salons) to win prizes generously donated by icons of the hair industry.
Participating in HAIRraising is easy and will require very little of your time. If you are a salon owner, you need to register your salon today and during the month of May, ask your patrons to add $1 or more to their bill. You can then send in your donations by June 11, 2010 to make sure all the needy children continue to receive the care they so desperately need.
While raising funds, salons will also have the ability to win prizes and publicize their participation in HAIRraising. Some of the prizes include lunch with Frieda, helping Orlando Pita at a fashion show in New York, assisting Serge Normant on a celebrity shoot, tuition to a two-day seminar at the Arrojo Academy and an opportunity to work closely with Sally Hershberger, Danilo and Rita Hazan.
“This is your chance to join with some of the biggest names in the salon industry and across Massachusetts and save a child’s life in the process” says John Frieda. Register your salon for HAIRraising today and also encourage other salons in your area to register online.
