Paul Mitchell the School to host ‘TEAM LOLA’ – an eco-friendly car wash fundraiser to raise money and awareness for a child with a rare genetic blood disorder.
Salt Lake City, Utah, September 3, 2009 – Participating students and teachers of Paul Mitchell the School in Holladay, Utah will be hosting a charity car wash and fundraiser Saturday September 5, 2009 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Paul Mitchell the School, 1969 East Murray-Holladay Rd.
Proceeds for the fundraiser will go into a relief fund for toddler Lola Willford and her family. Lola has been diagnosed with the rare blood disease Diamond-Blackfan Anemia where the body’s bone marrow produces little or no red blood cells. At just under two years of age, Lola has undergone 19 blood transfusions as well as numerous tests including bone marrow biopsies. The medical expenses of Lola’s care have been an expensive burden for Lola’s parents Rachel and Jason Willford. Lola’s medical journey can be followed by logging onto http://www.carepages.com >>>visit Lola Willford. Contributions to Lola’s cause can be made through PayPal account lolawillford@gmail.com
A unique, eco-friendly, waterless product will be used to wash the cars — offered generously at cost to fundraiser organizers by Earth Goods General Store in Salt Lake City. Other local area businesses are providing support with refreshments, raffle donations with lunch provided by Lunatic Fringe Coffee Lounge, Holladay, Utah for car wash volunteers.
Paul Mitchell the School located in Holladay, Utah is owned and operated by Shawn Trujillo and Angie Katsanevas co-founders and owners of Lunatic Fringe Salons in Utah and Idaho. Paul Mitchell the School is part of a nationwide network of cosmetology schools which offer training and certification in cosmetology related sciences and teaches the skills needed for today’s future professionals in the salon industry.
