Haircut for a Cause

Here’s a chance to get a hair cut for a cause. A friend of mine, Mia Harris-Belliard (who happens to also cut my hair) is holding a “cut-a-thon” to benefit CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates of Camden County) at her salon on June 4th. Mia is an amazing person; a young, female entrepreneur of deep religious conviction. I first met her years ago when she had a place in the Cherry Hill Mall, and now she has her own spa called Belliard’s, next to the Commerce Bank at what used to be the Race Track Circle (70 & Haddonfield Rd.) - #8 Grove St.

CASA is an independent, non-profit organization committed for advocating for the best interest of abused and neglected children in out-of-home placement by the NJ Family Court. CASA trains volunteers who undergo a 30-hour course and then CASA supervises them as they advocate form some of the 700 abused and neglected kids in Camden Co. These children could have been sexually abused, not fed, tormented, physically and emotionally abused, or simply left to fend for themselves. CASA helps to keep them from getting lost in the system once they are taken from their homes.

Mia is going to donate ALL the proceeds of the day to CASA. Unfortunately, I found out about this event today when I was in for my post-La’g B’Omer clip, and I don’t have any more hair to give. (I didn't have that much to begin with!) But I can tell you that for $35 you’ll get the royal treatment! They really know how to make you relax! Men and Women.

Call Belliard’s at (856) 665-9323 for an appt. If you need a good cut/styling anyhow, why not add some tzedakah to the endeavor.
