On March 17th, eighty brave shavees went under the razor as their supporters cheered them on and enjoyed the festivities at our St. Baldrick’s cancer-fighting event. To the tune of silly games, scrumptious desserts, Kaladi coffee, gourmet hot dogs, a fire engine, chair massages, mini-facials, and live television coverage, we are  proud to announce that our fun-filled St. Baldrick’s event generated a total of $33,500 to fund research for a cure for kids’ cancer! Can you believe it!? We thank you for everything you did to make this fundraiser a HUGE success. Check out our Facebook page for videos and photos from the evening!

The contest generated a total of 257 entries, 202 of which are from our fantastic Facebook fans. We have also enjoyed reading your customer reviews and interacting with you on Twitter and the blog. Keep in touch! We’re only a click away.

Race to Cyberspace Countdown

Remember also that there are only two days remaining in our exciting Race to Cyberspace contest! View the details on our “Specials and Promotions” blog page and take advantage of one of the many opportunities you have to enter and increase your chances of winning. Thanks to everyone for your blog post comments, Facebook and Twitter support, customer reviews, and answers to questions about the website. We’ve really enjoyed your interaction and hope you have been pleased with the chance to stay connected via the web. If you haven’t already entered, don’t delay!

Between now and then, you can donate (with no risk to your lovely locks) any dollar amount to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. After the 17th, your money will be given in full to provide research grants enabling doctors and scientists at over 200 institutions to pursue the most promising new cures for childhood cancer and to help make clinical trials available to more children than ever before. St. Baldrick’s is the world’s largest volunteer-driven fundraising event for childhood cancer research, having already raised more than $69 million though events just like ours.

Every three and a half minutes another child is diagnosed with cancer. Every year, thousands of volunteers (like you?) get their heads shaved in honor of those little ones fighting for their lives. Are you willing to join the battle by going under the razor? If so, visit http://www.stbaldricks.org and click “Sign Up (Register for your local event!)” to join the other Accent of Style shavees. Click “Be a Shavee” and go from there. Next, start asking your family and friends this important question: “How much would you donate for childhood cancer research to see me shave my head in solidarity with kids fighting cancer?” We’re confident your companions will respond generously.

March 17th is the big day. Join us in the salon from 5-8pm for food, fun, facials, a fire engine, Kaladi Brothers coffee, and much more. Give us a call at 561-3434 if you have questions!
