Milwaukee Salons & Spas Coming Together November 13 to Raise Awareness on Domestic Violence & Support the Azana Victims Fund
Headed by grassroots efforts, more than 80 Milwaukee area salons and spas are expected to come together on November 13, 2012 for a fundraising effort to support the victims of the Azana Spa & Salon shooting.
Supported by the PBA Foundation’s CUT IT OUT program, salons and spas are asked to sign-up to receive complimentary CUT IT OUT materials and donate between 5 percent to 25 percent of sales on November 13th, as well as wear a purple ribbon as a show of support. Other businesses that would like to participate are encouraged to donate a percentage of their sales as well.
“The tremendous support of Milwaukee area salons and spas for this grassroots effort has been amazing. We encourage people to visit a participating salon or spa on November 13 to support the victims of this tragic incident and send a message that domestic violence is not tolerated,” states Jan Seybold, Owner of Carenza Color.Cutting.Experience and one of several organizers.
