Farrar Fundraiser this Sunday

Sailors from the USS Constitution recently visited Ben at Spaulding Hospital.

Do you need a haircut? Do you want to support a great cause?

Heck, even if you don’t need a haircut, it couldn’t hurt to at least get a little trim during the Ben Farrar’s Day Off Fundraiser at Evolve Hair Design in Village Plaza this Sunday.

In April, Marblehead High School senior Farrar sustained a spinal cord injury while vacationing with friends in Cannes, France.

Farrar spent nearly seven weeks in France after the injury before returning to Massachusetts. He is now undergoing extensive physical therapy at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston and still has months of rehab ahead of him.

The Farrar house needs remodeling to welcome Ben home, and the Farrar family said it is hoping that all Marbleheaders and their friends will “pay it forward” with a financial donation.

Those who wish to make a donation can send a check or make a donation at the National Grand Bank in Marblehead to The Ben Farrar Fund, Or go to #BenStrong on Twitter or http://www.gofundme.com/benfarrar. 

On Sunday, Evolve Hair Design will be raising money with the Ben Farrar’s Day Off Fundraiser. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., people are welcome to come in and get a free haircut and then make a donation the Ben Farrar fund.

There will also be a silent auction during the day, with many of the items being previewed at www.facebook.com/SupportBenFarrar. All the proceeds from the auction will go toward the Farrar fund.

Leading up to the event this weekend, a number of Farrar’s friends will also be around town collecting donations.
