MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of their
effort to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer
research, Regis Corporation's (NYSE:RGS) 47,000+ stylists who work
at the company's salon brands are joining forces for the annual
Clip for the Cure haircutting event on Saturday, October 17, 2015.
"Clip for the Cure is an important event for our stylists, staff
and guests," said Regis Corp. President and CEO Dan Hanrahan. "Too many of our family and
friends have been touched by this disease, and for our company,
this campaign is a meaningful opportunity to come together and
raise money to find a cure for breast cancer."
Every year, stylists at nearly 7,000 participating Regis salons
host Clip for the Cure during October, which is Breast Cancer
Awareness month. Guests from around the country will visit their
favorite Regis salon brand on Saturday,
October 17 and get a haircut. The company donates 10% of
proceeds from each haircut to the Regis Foundation for Breast
Cancer Research. The foundation supports regional and national
organizations that focus on early diagnosis, prevention, treatment
and finding a cure for breast cancer.
Participating Regis salons also offer other opportunities to
take part. Throughout September and October, guests can purchase
pink breast cancer awareness products including brushes and hair
extensions. In addition, guests and businesses may also make cash
donations to the Foundation.
To date, Regis stylists and guests have raised more than
$11 million for the Regis Foundation
for Breast Cancer Research. The foundation funds breast cancer
research projects at nationally recognized centers, including Mayo
Clinic and the Masonic Cancer Institute, University of Minnesota. The foundation also
supports institutions throughout the country that assist and treat
patients with breast cancer. For more information or to find
