ASHEVILLE, NC (May 2, 2008) – Ananda Hair Studio and EventPro Strategies join together to host a charity hair donation event Monday, June 2. The event will include live music, door prizes, beverages, appetizers and hors d’ oeuvres.
The event will benefit Locks of Love: a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss.
Three EventPro Strategies employees, including Emery Rosansky, have committed to donating their hair at the event. To date, 15 others have signed up to donate their hair in exchange for a free haircut at Ananda.
“We are so excited to partner with Ananda Hair Studio for such an important cause,” says Rosansky. She adds that while her event staffing employer does most of its business in large markets, EventPro Strategies prides itself on local community service initiatives and is committed to giving back to the Asheville community through charitable efforts.
Ananda Hair Studio will donate the space for the event. Ten Ananda stylists, including owner Larry Hopkins, have all agreed to volunteer their time and skills to provide all hair donors with a new haircut completely free of charge.
“Ananda is always looking for opportunities to give back to our community,” say’s Larry Hopkins, owner of Ananda Hair Studio. “Locks of Love is a great organization with a perfectly aligned cause that we are proud to support.”
