Empire Beauty Schools 5th Annual National Day of Beauty on October 24
Empire Beauty Schools, the nation’s largest provider of cosmetology education, together with its nearly 12,000 students, are teaming up with local women’s shelters and CUT IT OUT, a grassroots organization dedicated to helping those who suffer from domestic abuse, to raise funds for this important cause. On October 24, 88 Empire Beauty Schools will donate 100% of proceeds raised from all hair, skin and nail services to local adopted shelters in their area through Empire’s anti-domestic violence program, Empire Gives Back. Likewise, additional fundraising from August 1 through December 31 will benefit these shelters as well.
“It is our mission not just to raise funds, but to really make a positive change for the victims of domestic abuse. We do this by educating our Empire Beauty School students about domestic violence, its signs and where victims can find the help, hope and refuge they urgently need,” says Frank K. Schoeneman, CEO and chairman for Empire Education Group. “We are raising
money and collecting donations of food and clothing in all of our communities to assist local shelters, as well as providing free hairstyling services for victims and their families.”
In order to achieve this year’s goal:
- Students and staff are selling $5 purple haircut coupon cards to student salon service customers for October 24.
- Food, clothing and personal care items will be collected at schools to donate to each local shelter.
- Students have been given the incentive to sell big and win big: The more money each school raises, the more financial assistance it will receive for its Future Professionals Expo fund. (The Future Pros Expo is Empire’s annual national student competition in Hershey PA.)
- Clients, students and staff have the opportunity the purchase donation circles for $1 with all funds going directly to the local shelters.
Over the past four years, Empire has raised almost a half-million dollars
through Empire Gives Back and National Day of Beauty. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
