Hampton Roads Salons & Spas Team Together to Help Animals in Need

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct. 11, 2011 - NORFOLK, VA – On October 27, Hampton Roads residents are invited to indulge themselves at local salons with haircuts, manicures, massages, and more, to help animals in need. Pamper for a Cause, sponsored by the FiXiT Foundation, a Norfolk-based organization dedicated to bringing an end to pet overpopulation, is a one-day event bringing together the community to help animals in need.

“Pamper For a Cause is a fantastic initiative for people to use their normal beauty routines to help animals in need,” said Stephanie Downs, president of the board of directors, FiXiT Foundation. “We are so thankful to the ten salons that have partnered with us in this initiative. We hope to raise $10,000, which will help us help hundreds of pets and their owners.”

Participating salons and spas have graciously agreed to donate a portion of sales on October 27 to Pamper For a Cause. Additionally, all participants in Pamper For a Cause will receive a gift bag, free Paw-lini drink and be entered to win door prizes.

“We are so excited to partner with the FiXiT Foundation,” said Jay Dupre, owner of Dupre’s Salon & Day Spa, “Pamper For a Cause is a great way for you to treat yourself while helping animals in need – without having to pay anything extra.
