My Salon Suite’s Commitment to Childhood Cancer Research

In an admirable effort to contribute to the fight against childhood cancer, My Salon Suite® announced its ambitious goal to raise $125,000 for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through its annual fundraiser, the Suite Relief Fundraiser. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to support children battling life-threatening diseases and celebrates Childhood Cancer Awareness Month throughout September.

Established in 1962, St. Jude has been a beacon of hope for sick children and their families. The organization’s innovative treatments have dramatically improved the survival rate for childhood cancer from a mere 20% in the past to an impressive 80% today. St. Jude's mission is crucial, particularly since it provides treatments that are not covered by insurance, allowing families access to necessary care without the burden of costs.

Since its inaugural fundraiser in 2018, My Salon Suite has successfully raised over $775,000 for St. Jude, showcasing the generosity of its Franchise Partners and Members. With this year’s goal, they hope to continue this trend of meaningful contributions.

A Community Effort

Mike and Tonya Hillard, distinguished Franchise Partners based in West Melbourne, Florida, have emerged as the leading fundraisers from the previous year. Expressing their pride in the initiative, they stated, “We are truly amazed by a core group of our Members in their leadership toward achieving a new donation record each year. The impact My Salon Suite is making on families affected by childhood cancer is truly life-changing.” Their words reflect a shared commitment among members of the My Salon Suite community to support St. Jude’s mission.

Beyond direct support for St. Jude, My Salon Suite remains dedicated to the welfare of its beauty, health, and wellness professionals. The franchise has partnered with PBA Charities to provide disaster relief grants and educational scholarships, distributing over $248,000 in relief aid and $117,000 in scholarships since the program’s inception. This dual approach of community support and direct fundraising underscores the organization’s commitment to service and empowerment.

Philanthropy at the Heart

Kelly Westbrook, Vice President of Member Development, articulated the brand's philosophy: “My Salon Suite’s philanthropic program was built on the foundation of the beauty in giving back.” Through the Suite Relief Program, both members and franchise owners have the opportunity to significantly impact the lives of children and their families facing immense challenges. Supporting St. Jude is more than just a cause; it is deeply personal to the My Salon Suite community, fostering a sense of unity, purpose, and altruism.
