6th Annual Salons For The Cure Walk-A-Thon
Clifton, N.J. - Calling all salons! The 6th annual Salons For The Cure Walk-A-Thon will take place on Sunday, Sept. 29th at Verona Park in Verona, NJ. Salon sponsorship will once again be critical to the success of this event and all salons are invited to participate.
As in years past, the 2013 event will raise funds for the Cure Breast Cancer Foundation to supports the research efforts of Dr. Larry Norton, Deputy Physician-in-Chief for Breast Cancer Programs and the Medical Director of the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. All net proceeds raised will be used for breast cancer research under Dr. Norton’s direction at Memorial SloanKettering and other national and international research facilities.
“We are looking forward to hosting our most successful event ever this year,” said Andrew Abramson, Treasurer and Co-Founder of CBCF. “The Salons For the Cure Walk-A-Thon always enjoys such tremendous support from salons and other local businesses in New Jersey and so far, this year has been no exception. It’s encouraging to see so many different people from all different walks of life all united in their genuine desire to help support efforts to find a cure for breast cancer.”
Salon sponsors must pre-register for the event. Individual participants in the Walk-A-Thon will be able to register at participating salons, on the CBCF website or between 9 and 10 a.m. on the day of the event. More details on individual registration will be made available in the near future.
A suggested minimum donation of $25 is appreciated for the event, but any donation will be gratefully received. Food vendors will be on hand and entertainment will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring their dogs.
Six salons – Allure Day Spa, Avanti Day Resort, Bangz Salon & Wellness Spa, Depasquale, Panico Salon & Spa, and Shag86 – have already committed to this year’s walk, but more are needed. The salon participation fee is $300. To sign up as a participating sponsor, or to request more information, please contact salons@curebreastcancerfoundation.org.
