Shear Emotion Salon, located in Hilton, has been hosting a cancer benefit for over a decade. Cindy Lutwiller, owner, and her staff put their heart and soul into this annual fundraising effort to support the fight against cancer. “Many of our friends, customers, and family were fighting a cancer battle; some won, some lost, and some are still fighting.” This motivated Cindy and the Shear Emotion team to create this annual event called Cupcakes for Cancer to show support and help with the fight.
Throughout the entire month of October, Shear Emotion Salon is running a coloring contest for children (see the October 2 edition of Westside News), a 50/50 raffle, games including an M&M guess and sucker pull, giveaways of locally donated gift baskets, and the famous baked food sale. Visit the salon before October 29 to help support this cause by participating in the month-long events. Then stop in on Saturday, October 29, for the baked goods sale with freshly baked items for purchase. The sale runs from 9 a.m. until items are sold out.
All proceeds for this month-long benefit go to Edelman-Gardner Cancer Research Foundation. Edelman-Gardner is a nonprofit foundation based in Hilton that focuses on raising money for cancer research and provides funding for research projects that will increase the quality of life, put cancer in remission, or ultimately find a cure. They have been a strong partner of the Wilmot Cancer Institute and have given them more than $1,000,000 for Cancer Research.
Help Shear Emotion in the fight against cancer by stopping in through the month of October. Shear Emotion is located at 1026 Hilton Parma Corners Road. For store hours or more information, visit http://www.shearemotion.com.
