In support of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Empire Beauty
Schools will host its annual National Day of Beauty, a fundraising event to
support victims of domestic abuse on a local level, this Saturday, October
9th. Empire’s 100 beauty schools will offer haircuts, coloring, nail
services and more to customers throughout the day, and all proceeds will go
to domestic violence shelters in each school’s community. In addition to
discounted student salon prices, empire beauty students are also selling $5
service cards that can be redeemed at the event. Jeanine Pirro, host of
Judge Jeanine Pirro and a member of the National Domestic Violence Hotline’s
celebrity advisory board, will help Empire raise awareness for its
fundraising event. “Beyond fundraising and local shelter support, we have
incorporated an educational platform into the Empire curriculum to train our
students how to recognize the signs of domestic abuse,” says Franklin K.
Schoeneman, CEO of Empire Education Group. Empire schools regularly support
abuse shelter residents with salon services, educational endowments and
fundraisers. Empire has raised more than $250,000 for aid in the fight
against domestic violence to date. —Ivy Tan
