Pink Hair For Hope Campaign Launches in Bothell/Mill Creek

Sept. 25, 2008 - PRLog -- For the second year in a row, Elle Marie Hair Studio will be supporting So.Cap. USA Hair Extensions with their Pink Hair For Hope campaign, their successful annual fall program to support Breast Cancer Research. Pink ribbons have become the new symbol for breast cancer awareness across the globe. Creative ribbons, bracelets, mugs and candies have all been accessorized for you to show your special support for finding a cure to this challenge. We all need to join together to raise more funds in the hopes of finding a cure for breast cancer through research and So.Cap. USA has come up with a truly unique way to show your support. Now you can really celebrate your support with SO.CAP. USA Hair Extensions’ Pink Hair For Hope program at Elle Marie Hair Studio during the month of October. With a simple donation of $10 or more to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the donor will receive a real pink hair extension strand from one of Elle Marie’s Certified Hair Extensionists.

Everyone Needs To Wear Pink Hair For Hope!  The special pink hair extension strand will help you share your unifying bond with women who have been touched by the ill-effects of breast cancer. This professional SO.CAP. USA pink hair extension attaches to your natural hair very close to the scalp, leaving an invisible bond. The bond is accomplished using 100% keratin, the same protein that makes up our own natural hair. So, there is no damage to your natural hair once this trendy pink hair extension is removed.

Join The Fight Against Breast Cancer with Pink Hair! According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. It is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in women.  About 182,460 women in the United States will be found to have invasive breast cancer in 2008. About 40,480 women will die from the disease this year. Right now there are about two and a half million breast cancer survivors in the United States. The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 35.

In their first year last year, Elle Marie Hair Studio raised just over $1000 for the cause with women both old and young taking advantage of the opportunity to show their support in a unique way.  “We had an entire girls soccer team come see us and they’ve already placed their order again for this year.  We’ve even received word from an entire training team at AT&T Mobility that wants to participate.  It really is a lot of fun to show off some fun color in your hair.  Everyone asks about it which continues to build awareness around a great cause.  We’re really hoping to build on the momentum of our first year and raise $2500 this year,” says Lorry Green, Co-Owner and Salon Manager at Elle Marie Hair Studio.  Pink Hair For Hope raised $372,000.00 last year. “Participation in this third annual Pink Hair for Hope campaign is a fashionable way to show your personal support for such a serious international cause,” notes Ron Cardillo, Sr., president of SO.CAP. USA Hair Extensions, headquartered in Mahopac Falls, NY.

Today, the SO.CAP. USA Hair Extensions Company is respected as the top professional salon hair extension company in the world. The North American branch of the SO.CAP.

Celebrate Your Fantasies With Fashion! This past year, SO.CAP. USA Hair Extensions successfully raised almost $372,000.  This year, their goal is to raise even more!  It’s time to show your support as we all work together to find solutions through increased breast cancer awareness and research. This is a very creative opportunity to wear either subtle or bold accents with pink hair! It’s so fun and flirtatious, that you may want to get 5 or 10 pink hair extensions.
