Email subscribers: Please print out this email and bring it to your own salon or spa. For example, East Coast Salon is having its third annual Hair for Hope on Sunday October 21st from 1 PM - 5 PM with hair cuts, pink manicures, pink hair extensions, food donated by local restaurants and raffles.   

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here in the Hudson Valley, Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation is your local breast cancer organization. We fund support services for people affected by breast cancer in the 8 counties of the Hudson Valley.  

By running a promotion for Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation at your salon or spa, you will be helping all of your customers touched by this disease.

Some ideas for promotions:

• Have a Cut-A-Thon in one day 
• Sponsor a pink extension promotion 
• Sponsor Pink Saturdays (100% of proceeds and gratuities that day are donated to Miles of Hope) 
• Devise your own promotion with proceeds coming to Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation. Bella Luci Salon raised more than $1000 by donating $5 for every haircut in October. DKA in New York Salon held a Blow Dry Boot Camp. Get creative! 

We will promote your event on our website's news blog, on Facebook and through our email list (if received in time). 

Any salon that wants to participate should send an email to info@milesofhope.org, including the salon name, city name, and fundraiser details. Participating salons can download and print a poster showing their support (see poster).   

Checks should be made payable to Miles of Hope. After the event, email us and tell us about your event, and how much you raised, and include any photos (we will use this for follow-up publicity, such as a blog post). You can write a check for any cash and mail checks, along with a short note, to: P.O. Box 405, Lagrangeville, NY 12540. Take photos of your event and we'll post them! 

Thank you for helping everyone raise awareness about breast cancer! 

Sincerely,  

Dana, Cathy & Pari
