Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama’s Young Leadership Board will host the second annual Shear Kindness hair cut-a-thon Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the second floor of the former Belk store at the Riverchase Galleria.
The event will be held during Alabama’s 2011 sales tax holiday weekend. Supporters include the Galleria and Sirote & Permutt.
Stylists from the Richard Joseph Studio Salon Spa at Belk, Aveda Institute, Sports Clips and Paul Mitchell’s Xcell Academy will all be giving haircuts in return for a donation to the Ronald McDonald House. Requested donations are $5 for children and $10 for adults.
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama is Birmingham’s only affordable provider of temporary housing services focused on serving sick or injured children and their families who must travel to Birmingham for medical care.
All proceeds will benefit the Ronald McDonald House and also provide funding for the new Ronald McDonald Family Room at DCH Regional Medical Center.
