Cut-A-Thon to Benefit Nina Poeta
Oxford Hair Academy and Body Shoppe Salon will host a Cut-A-Thon Thursday, 9/25/14, to benefit 17yo Nina Poeta as she battles cancer.
Seventeen year old Nina Poeta is a cheerleader for Seymour High School and a very special young lady in the Valley community. Most people in the area know of her battle with cancer. She was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in November. The past eight months have been quite challenging for Nina and her family. She has undergone radiation, two very delicate surgical procedures, and is currently receiving a second round of chemotherapy.
The community’s love and support has been a blessing to the Poeta family. A fund was set up on Go Fund Me and has raised over 80,000 dollars to help with the financial challenges they are facing. Please visit the site to learn more about Nina and her journey http://www.gofundme.com/5eirqo.
A special event is planned for Nina and her family on Thursday, September 25, 2014. Oxford Hair Academy and Body Shoppe Salon are hosting a Cut-A-Thon. We are hoping to have a great turnout to show Nina that she is not alone in this fight. This will be a great way to show your love and support. Haircuts are 15.00 and all proceeds will be donated to The Poeta Family Fund.
