“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

Charles Dickens

As all of you know, Hurricane Sandy was an incredibly devastating event that destroyed many lives, homes and businesses.  And even though the nightly news has moved on, we have not.

There is still so much to be done to help our own.  As we first wrote about on October 31, there is a fund in our industry to help beauty professionals during disasters.  It’s called the NCA Disaster Relief Fund.

While the Fund has been around since 1955, our very own passionista Gordon Miller, former Director of the NCA, lead the effort to raise over one million dollars during Hurricane Katrina.  Now with the devastation of Sandy, it’s time to step up again and give back.

We are so honored to be supporting a fundraising event on December 9 in NYC called Hairdressers Helping Hairdressers.  We are asking each of you to get involved any way you can.

How you can help:

ATTEND
Purchase a ticket and hang out with some of the coolest in the biz. While you are there, please consider bidding on some of items being offered in the Silent Auction.  One of those items is a Month of One-On-One Mentoring with us. Yay!

DONATE
Donate whatever you can to the Disaster Relief Fund.  A day of tips possibly? Every penny counts.

SHARE
Post, tweet, share, comment, like, re-tweet, pin, repin to spread the word.  Be sure to use the hashtag #hhh on Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.

A great big shout out of awesomeness to all the people and companies helping make this event come to life. We heart you.
