“We are proud to support the St. Baldrick’s Foundation in their efforts to Conquer Kids’ Cancer,” says Scott Colabuono, president and CEO Fantastic Sams. “We know we can make a positive impact on St. Baldrick’s fundraising efforts, and our ability to utilize our national footprint in September is a great way for us to help raise funds for life-saving children’s cancer research and awareness throughout Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.”
Fantastic Sams is asking that anyone wanting to participate and have their head shaved make a $10 donation on the salons’ page at www.StBaldricks.org/events/FantasticSams. Guests should then print a confirmation of their donation and bring it into their local participating salon to have their head shaved. Donations can also be made via smartphone. Individual salons will not be collecting donations, so make sure you donate online!
“We are thrilled that Fantastic Sams Hair Salons is joining the ranks of stylists and barbers supporting our cause to find cures for childhood cancers and provide survivors with long and healthy lives,” says Kathleen Ruddy, executive director for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. “With so many locations for people to get their heads shaved professionally, we encourage Fantastic Sams’ guests to get involved and show their support by making a donation and visiting a participating salon throughout the month. We hope this will introduce more people to St. Baldrick’s and have them become ongoing supporters of our mission and raise additional funds as shavees or host events in their community
Each year more than 160,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer worldwide, and one in five of those won’t survive. Together, Fantastic Sams and the St. Baldrick’s Foundation encourage all to get involved because it takes shaved heads and donations to Conquer Kids’ Cancer!
