Join Salons Across the Nation in Supporting Hair Loss Patients Through Hair We Share's Inspiring Annual Event
JERICHO, NY, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hair We Share proudly announces the Second Annual United Salons of America (USA) fundraiser, taking place throughout the month of April 2025. This groundbreaking initiative brings together the beauty industry in support of a powerful mission: restoring confidence to individuals affected by medical hair loss.
United Salons of America was launched by Hair We Share in 2024, born out of a heartwarming collaboration between Hair We Share Co-Founders Dean Riskin and Suzanne Chimera and Jo Marie, who serves as the Chairperson of the initiative. After working together to deliver a wig to a young girl, Jo Marie's dedication inspired Dean and Suzanne to explore ways to unite the beauty industry in support of their cause.
SEEKING BUSINESS PARTNERS AND SPONSORS: While the initiative was born in the salon industry, United Salons of America actively welcomes participation from businesses of all types. The organization is currently seeking additional partners and donations to expand their impact nationwide. Salons can participate by hosting fundraising events or providing styling services, but any business or individual can contribute through financial donations, sponsorships, or by helping raise awareness about the cause.
Following months of pandemic lockdowns, Hair We Share experienced an overwhelming increase in hair donations from individuals who had grown their hair during isolation. While this generosity demonstrated the compassion of donors nationwide, it also presented a significant challenge: insufficient funds to process these donations into the high-quality wigs needed by patients.
"The surge in hair donations is a beautiful problem to have, but it's also a responsibility we take seriously," explains Suzanne Chimera, Co-Founder of Hair We Share. "So many generous individuals have sent their hair out of love and a genuine desire to help others. As a result, we have a sacred obligation to ensure that their kindness is transformed into something truly meaningful - wigs that bring hope, confidence, and joy to those in need. We owe it to these donors, and to the individuals awaiting their wigs, to make this vision a reality."
Hair We Share relies on the generosity of donors who lovingly give their ponytails to help create custom-made wigs. However, the organization faces a significant challenge: turning these donated ponytails into wigs requires substantial funding to cover manufacturing expenses. That's where United Salons of America comes in – Jo Marie's vision to create a collective effort to amplify fundraising efforts across the beauty industry.
Jo Marie's commitment to the cause stems from personal experiences with cancer patients. "This mission hits home for me," she explained. "I recently had the privilege of helping a young girl battling stage four bone cancer by creating and customizing a handmade wig specifically for her. Witnessing the joy and confidence this brought her ignited a passion in me to help more individuals experiencing medical hair loss. The transformation goes beyond physical appearance – it helps restore a sense of normalcy and dignity during an incredibly challenging time."
By uniting the beauty industry, United Salons of America is mobilizing a powerful force to help Hair We Share overcome the financial hurdles that stand between donated ponytails and the wigs that can change lives. The organization has established a network of salons across the country where skilled professionals donate their services to customize these wigs, making them indistinguishable from natural hair and perfectly suited to each recipient's unique style and preferences.
"I volunteer my time because these wigs often require professional customization before they're ready for recipients," Jo Marie noted. "By contributing our skills as salon professionals, we can help restore not just hair, but confidence and normalcy to those facing difficult medical challenges. Each wig represents hours of skilled work – from initial cutting and coloring to styling and finishing touches – all provided by dedicated stylists who understand the transformative power of their craft."
The United Salons of America initiative has already helped dozens of medical hair loss patients receive custom-fitted, professionally styled wigs that would otherwise be financially out of reach. The financial support from salons and individual donors has been crucial to the program's success and continued growth.
"With your support, United Salons of America can help Hair We Share turn donated ponytails into wigs, restoring confidence and self-esteem to individuals affected by medical hair loss," said Jo Marie. "We welcome participation from businesses of all kinds and individuals who want to make a difference. This isn't just a salon initiative—it's a community effort. Join our movement and help make a difference in the lives of those who need it most."

Ze względu na różnice w cenach surowce wtórne przegrywają z pierwotnymi. To powoduje problemy branży recyklingowej
Rozporządzenie PPWR stawia ambitne cele w zakresie wykorzystania recyklatów w poszczególnych rodzajach opakowań. To będzie oznaczało wzrost popytu na materiały wtórne pochodzące z recyklingu. Obecnie problemy branży recyklingu mogą spowodować, że popyt będzie zaspokajany głównie przez import. Dziś do dobrowolnego wykorzystania recyklatów nie zachęcają przede wszystkim ceny – surowiec pierwotny można kupić taniej niż ten z recyklingu.

Rośnie presja konkurencyjna na unijne rolnictwo. Bez rekompensat sytuacja rolników może się pogarszać

Rolnictwo i żywność, w tym rybołówstwo, są sektorami strategicznymi dla UE. System rolno-spożywczy, oparty na jednolitym rynku europejskim, wytwarza ponad 900 mld euro wartości dodanej. Jego konkurencyjność stoi jednak przed wieloma wyzwaniami – to przede wszystkim eksport z Ukrainy i niedługo także z krajów Mercosur, a także presja związana z oczekiwaniami konsumentów i Zielonym Ładem. Bez rekompensat rolnikom może być trudno tym wyzwaniom sprostać.

Infrastruktury ładowania elektryków przybywa w szybkim tempie. Inwestorzy jednak napotykają szereg barier

Liczba punktów ładowania samochodów elektrycznych wynosi dziś ok. 10 tys., a tempo wzrostu wynosi ok. 50 proc. r/r. Dynamika ta przez wiele miesięcy była wyższa niż wyniki samego rynku samochodów elektrycznych, na które w poprzednim roku wpływało zawieszenie rządowych dopłat do zakupu elektryka. Pierwszy kwartał br. zamknął się 22-proc. wzrostem liczby rejestracji w ujęciu rocznym, ale kwiecień przyniósł już wyraźne odbicie – o 100 proc.
