Local Salon to Raise Funds for Walpole-Based Charity

Cut-a-ThonPopular Walpole hair salon, Salon Beni, has partnered with the RB Foundation, Inc. for its first annual Beni Cut-a-Thon. Salon owners Terri Nickerson and Katie Bacon have long been interested in community service and have been looking for creative ways to support local families in need. “We have been looking to work with a Walpole-area non-profit to help strengthen our community and be true to our name. After all, Beni means blessed,” Terri said. “We have been personal friends with RB Foundation co-founders Rob and Chrissy Barletta for many years and realized that their charity would be a perfect fit for us.”

Cut-a-Thon“Our mission is to create happiness and ultimate satisfaction through exemplary customer service and we are devoted to making each and every visit a memorable one for our clients,” she said. “We hope to attract a lot of attention for our cut-a-thon so that we may generate a sizable donation for the foundation, which is dedicated to providing financial assistance to area families hit by unforeseen hardship.” All profits from the cut-a-thon will go toward this purpose.

“Salon Beni is the perfect business to join forces with us,” Barletta said. “Their staff is focused on helping people feel beautiful and empowered, and that is one of our goals as well. We understand that financial hardship can take a toll on self esteem and this is the type of event that can help make everyone involved feel a little better.”

The cut-a-thon will take place on April 26, 2015 from 10 am to 3 pm at Salon Beni, located at 555 Providence Highway in Walpole, right across from Walmart. Wet cuts (no blowouts) will be available at a significant discount over the salon’s regular prices. Specifically, prices for the special charity event are $30 per cut for youth 12+ and adults, and $20 for those under 12.

Due to the anticipated popularity of this fundraiser, appointments are limited and need to be booked in advance. Payment is required at the time of scheduling, either via cash or check payable to Salon Beni.
