Our Contributions
Here at the Academy we are proud to give back to our community. Nearly every week, we run a donation drive to support some type of charitable organization in Colorado.
These contributions include:
In 2010, we raised $4,764, most of which went toward the purchase of food for the Food Bank of the Rockies.
Due to the recent earthquake in Haiti we chose to raise over $1,300 to help with the relief efforts.
Another one of our yearly fundraisers, “Pamper for Cancer,” raises funds for the Colorado Cancer Research Center for help in finding a cure. We have raised more than $14,000 through these events to help fund cancer research.
We’ve organized a bi-weekly visit to the St. Francis Center (one of Denver’s homeless shelters). A small group of stylists donate their time and services to providing haircuts for a large group of homeless individuals. This effort has grown into something truly amazing, and we are honored to take part in this form of giving back.
