Remembering 9/11

 

Paul Mitchell the School Danbury will hold a Cut-a-Thon to say THANK YOU for protecting and serving our country, by offering COMPLIMENTARY HAIRCUTS for all rescue workers, firefighters, and police on September 11, 2013. We are also serving a COMPLIMENTARY breakfast from 8am – 10am for our first responders.

 

Every year since the tragic attacks on September 11, 2001, Paul Mitchell cosmetology schools across America have held some type of event in remembrance of the precious lives lost that day. Some schools have hosted fundraising events for local police, firefighters, their widows and orphans funds, and even for rescue dogs. Other schools have held special in-school tributes or memorials that day.

 

Winn Claybaugh, dean and cofounder of the nationwide Paul Mitchell Schools network, says, “The lesson we all learned from 9/11 was unity, and each year our Paul Mitchell Schools unite to show our appreciation, patriotism, and gratitude by planning something special in every school. This year marks the twelfth anniversary of that fateful day, and the one-year anniversary of the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. We must commit ourselves to doing more each year to keep alive the lessons we’ve learned, in honor of the brave individuals who have lost their lives. We think the best way to do that is to reach out locally and show our support for those wonderful people who keep our communities safe.”

 

Paul Mitchell the School Danbury will host a cut-a-thon on September 11th, from 10:00am-6:00pm, at Paul Mitchell the School Danbury, 2 National Place. We are also serving a COMPLIMENTARY breakfast from 8am – 10am for our first responders.

 

Event Will Include:

  • Complimentary Haircuts and Finishing Styles
  • Services performed by our Future Professionals

About Paul Mitchell Schools

 

At Paul Mitchell Schools, we believe that education is an adventure and the learning experience needs to be fun. Our learning leaders are trained to draw out the artist in every student and prepare them to succeed in their chosen careers and their lives as globally aware and community-conscious contributors. Through our annual “FUNraising” campaign, we’ve raised and donated over $11.2 million in support of many charitable causes. We’ve built homes with Habitat for Humanity, fed thousands of African orphans, and supported the victims of AIDS, breast cancer, homelessness, abuse, and hundreds of other causes.

 

Established over 30 years ago, the Paul Mitchell network is nearly 100,000 salons strong and in 81 countries worldwide; every professional hairdresser knows the Paul Mitchell name.
