Cut's For Kid's 2009

173 children received a free haircut. Free food was provided by Cornerstone Community Bank of Red Bluff. There  were children's games, face painting, informational booths and we were entertained all afternoon by various family friendly musicians. The day was a huge success and each of those children went to school with a fresh hair cut, looking and feeling good about themselves. A HUGE thank you to all the hairstylists who came out and made this event a success!
