Beauty for a Cause
October is breast cancer awareness month. And as the daughter of someone who has recovered from the disease (thank goodness!), I love to hear all the great efforts of those who try to eradicate this disease from the radar. And the beauty industry is just one of the many that are getting involved.
Companies like Bare Escentuals, DuWop, Decleor, Shiseido, and others will be donating part of their proceeds from particularly designated products purchased by consumers to Cancer and Careers, a resource for working women with cancer. This is great news for the organization that was founded in 2001 that helps women who have been diagnosed with cancer to deal with how to tell their places of employment and what to expect.
Additionally, the State College of Beauty Culture (Wausau, WI) plans to hold its annual Cuts for Cancer fundraiser to donate money to local charities. Pink merchandise will be sold by the faculty and students of the beauty school and a cut-a-thon on October 29 will bring clients, who have at least 10 inches of hair to donate to Locks for Love, for free cuts and styles.
It’s so nice to see the beauty industry coming together to do something for a good cause. Keep up the amazing work!!
