4th
Annual Hair Cut-a-thon -
June 1, 2008
Paris is 4 years old. Her favorite
color is pink and she is the poster
child for this year's Hair-Cut-A-Thon. She
was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma
shortly after her father who is part
owner of the Rose of Sharon Salon
held a Hair-Cut-A-Thon Fundraiser
for Candlelighters in 2006. At the
time her dad never knew that his
family would one day be in the
position that his child would be
diagnosed with cancer. This salon
will host for its 2nd time a
Hair-Cut-A-Thon for Candlelighters,
this time it touches their hearts in
a different way.
Firefighters from Ft. Irwin, Loma Linda,
Riverside, San Bernardino, San Manuel,March
Air Force Base and Redlands will be having
their heads shaved at the 4th Annual
Hair-Cut-a-Thon fundraiser at The Rose of
Sharon Salon, Redlands, CA.
More than 100 individuals donated their hair
to Locks of Love; had their heads shaves; or
got a hair cut and style for children who
have cancer in 2006. We are looking forward
to another well attended event in 2007. If
you are interested in participating, please
call Candlelighters at (909) 558-3419.
The Rose of Sharon Salon will graciously
host the event again this year. A dozen
stylists will donate their talents and time.
A special thank you to Michael Cook who
planted the seed for this fundraiser by
calling Candlelighters and offering to shave
his head in honor of children who have
cancer.
