On Saturday April 2, the staff and students of The Academy of Cosmetology held a cut-a-thon which they dubbed........"Have a heart for Mercy". And boy, do they!
A friend of ours recently expressed our feelings perfectly....she said that words tend to diminish the feelings of gratitude and appreciation a person feels when someone else has gone above and beyond for them. Above and beyond is an understatement for the hard work everybody put into making the cut-a-thon a huge success. Planning started months ago when Mercy and I were still in the hospital.
The Academy has sponsored a cut-a-thon every year for the last 4 years with all proceeds going toward The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It's a pretty big deal around the school, so it was decided this year that the fundraiser would be held for Mercy May to help our family offset medical and travel expenses.
Several businesses around town, current students and graduates of the school donated prizes for the raffle that was held. (Good luck to those of you that bought tickets!! Prizes will be drawn this Tuesday morning in theory class. Winners will be notified immediately.)
Each student donated their "tips" for the day as well as performed services on the public.
Everyone was dressed in pink to honor MercyMay and they even made her a custom outfit that they all signed.
Needless to say...they had fun, did a great job and raised alot of money in the meantime. SYNERGY
THANK YOU
You are all fabulous, fantastic, first-class people and may all you do for others be returned to you in the same unsurpassed manner it was given to us.
