Sam and Ofelia Simonian, owners of Sam Pierre Hair Studio, are adding a twist to their monthly routine. On the first Tuesday of each month, they host a fundraising event to benefit a cause, ranging from breast cancer awareness to autism awareness or prostate health or multiple sclerosis or other non-profit organizations they consider worthy.
While almost all of us cut or trim our hair regularly to keep it healthy and growing, this salon is doing it’s cuts for a cause; to help keep people all over the world healthy and to help raise awareness.
First on the list, the National Breast Cancer Foundation was the chosen benefit for a week long campaign and they received 20 percent of the profits (including all salon services and product purchases) made.
The National Breast Cancer Foundation mission is to save lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer through education and by providing mammograms for those in need. NBCF accomplishes this mission through initiatives, such as the National Mammography Program, Beyond the Shock educational video, MyNBCF online community, and the Early Detection Plan. NBCF programs provide women help for today and hope for tomorrow.
