Sport Clips Haircuts Kicks Off April Campaign in Support of Pediatric Cancer Foundation

Tampa, Fla. – April 1, 2015 - Beginning April 6, Sport Clips Haircuts is donating to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation (PCF) for every MVP Experience sold in their Tampa and Sarasota stores through April 30. Sport Clips is a proud participant in the Pediatric Cancer Foundation’s Sunshine Campaign to fund childhood cancer research.

The Sunshine Campaign aims to increase awareness about childhood cancer by encouraging corporate partners, like Sport Clips, to donate through a percentage of sales, round-up program, or a general promotion. Last year, Sport Clips raised more than $7,000 for PCF through their campaign.

In addition to participating in the Sunshine Campaign, Sport Clips is also the official haircutter of PCF’s Cut for a Cure Charity Challenge. Sport Clips stylists are shaving heads from March-May for over 300 brave men, women and children.

“At Sport Clips we could not be more proud to be associated with The Pediatric Cancer Foundation and their mission. Our team is eager to help with each event and the smiling faces of the children stay with our team and helps drive their desire to raise funds during the Sunshine Campaign. We are looking forward to a long relationship with PCF,” said Russell Blumenthal, Sport Clips Team Leader (owner).

Nancy Crane, Executive Director of the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, commented “We thank the team at Sport Clips for their participation in the Sunshine Campaign and Cut for a Cure. We are proud to have them join us in the fight against pediatric cancer and know their efforts will help tremendously in the fulfillment of our mission”.
