Team Beauty Night Visits Surrey, New West and Burnaby Monthly

On Feb 5th, we begin our monthly Surrey events. Thanks to a partnership with Maxxine Wright, we are able to start offering monthly programming for low income women in Surrey. “In the past 18 months, we have found out many of our participants in the programs we offer in Vancouver’s DTES reside in Burnaby, Surrey and New West. Starting February 2013, we will be offering 1 night of programming each month in each city (Surrey, New West and Burnaby). At our last volunteer meeting in Surrey, our Team Beauty Night members agreed that we would see if we can increase our programming to twice a month after 3 months, three times a month at nine months and 4 times a month within a year. This would be based on developing the resources - volunteer base, donations and community support within each community we offer our services in. Already we have a wait list of community partners who would like to see our programming at their facilities,” explained Beauty Night Founder, Caroline MacGillivray.

 

If you are interested in joining Team Beauty Night for our events in Surrey, New West or Burnaby, we have a volunteer orientation set up for Sunday, February 17th.

Hair-Cut-A-Thon Raised $705!

Last year, JuJu Salon owner, Steve Jiu asked friends and family to donate money to Beauty Night in lieu of birthday presents. He donated $100 to Beauty Night. This year Steve wanted to go bigger. He opened up his Aveda Concept Salon to hold a Hair-Cut-A-Thon to raise money for Beauty Night’s 3 streams of programming.

Bean Vancouver’s Vanessa Marshall recruited volunteers to help facilitate the event while Jiu recruited his staff and other salon owners to participate. Thanks to engaging more supporters, he multiplied his donation by 7. Yesterday’s efforts raised $705 for Beauty Night.

This evening Toni & Guy will be presenting Beauty Night Society a cheque for $3000. “I am honoured and excited,” says Caroline MacGillivray, Beauty Night President and Founder. MacGillivray, who will be accepting the cheque on Beauty Night’s behalf. “You can have fun and make a difference, ” says MacGillivray, “We do that every day with our programming with our clients. It felt like Toni & Guy used the same philosophy when they asked us if they could celebrate their 10 year anniversary and donate the proceeds to Beauty Night. The show was exciting and entertaining.
