Sport Clips Stylists Help Troops Call Home

Men's salon franchise Sport Clips announced that its team members and clients raised more than $118,000 in donations through its 600-plus locations across the country. Stores nationwide were encouraged to participate in a cut-a-thon on Veterans Day, when $1 from each haircut was donated. In-store donation drives and fundraisers over a four-week period leading up to Veterans Day also contributed to Sport Clips' efforts.
"I know how important it is to hear the voices of loved ones when you are overseas for months at a time, having been there myself," said Sport Clips founder and CEO Gordon Logan. "It's our honor and privilege to make this a holiday gift to those who are selflessly serving our country." —J.H.
