Hair Cuttery Holds Fundraiser to Support Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk
Funds raised from haircuts purchased on Septemer 17th & 18th to benefit Hair Cuttery Jimmy Fund Walk Team
Hair Cuttery salons throughout New England, including the salon in Watertown, will hold a fundraiser to support the Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk. On September 17th and 18th, five percent of all proceeds (up to $5,000) from haircuts purchased at any of the Hair Cuttery salons in New England, will benefit the Hair Cuttery Jimmy Fund Walk Team. The Jimmy Fund Walk supports cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
“Hair Cuttery is proud to be an Associate Sponsor of the Jimmy Fund Walk,” said Dennis Ratner, founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. “Everyone has been touched by cancer at some point in their lives,” said Ratner. “Helping to raise funds for cancer research and patient care means a lot to our Hair Cuttery family.”
The Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk raises the most money of any single-day walk in the nation and has raised more than $110 million for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s fight against cancer since 1989. In 2015, more than 8,900 participants and 1,000 volunteers took to the Boston Marathon® course and raised more than $8.2 million. This year’s Walk will take place on Sunday, September 25th.
