In 1981, Jack Stork of Chicagoland Hairdressers Magazine and Sandra Garfield of h•a•i•r internationale, founded the National Professional Salon Industry Council (NPSIC) to establish a continuous flow of industry-supported fundraising events benefiting City of Hope.

The NPSIC established an annual tradition of recognizing and honoring an outstanding leader for his or her contribution to business and community. The Spirit of Life® Award gala not only recognizes an individual for their worthy efforts but also provides an opportunity for the industry as a whole to demonstrate a common concern for public good by supporting City of Hope.

These t-shirts, which celebrate the masquerade theme of this year’s Spirit of Life event, debuted at the International Salon and Spa Expo, targeting the stylist community to encourage their support of City of Hope. The t-shirts are available for a suggested minimum donation of $25, which will be donated to City of Hope.

A lot of people think that, to make a difference, they have to write a check for $10,000 and if they can’t do that, then they shouldn’t do anything at all. Or they think some big corporation should take over. It doesn’t have to be that way. Everyone can make a difference. Small, grassroots FUNraising activities add up quickly, and every dollar, five dollars, ten dollars, and hundred dollars truly makes a difference.

This guide includes some of the most successful FUNraising ideas from salons and schools across the country. You’ll find great tips, helpful scripts, and lots of fun ideas for making your FUNraising campaign a huge success.
