A Day for the Ronald McDonald House - Great Success

Today Sharkeys Cuts for Kids pledged all proceeds from all kids haircuts, dads haircuts and minicures to the Ronald McDonald House ... and it was a huge success. Thanks to the great marketing by all our staff and friends and the tremendous help from 99.1 Hits FM, we raised $865 and will donate an additional $900 through Hits FM for a total of $1765!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for all the help. Our stylists Laura and Kayla worked tirelessly today, even working through their lunch breaks to do as many cuts as possible. Special thanks to Laura for holding down the fort alone this morning while we were at the Janeway! I would like to especially thank our stylist Amanda and Kayleigh for not only donating their time to the Janeway this morning, but they also then donated the remainder of their day working at the salon to help the cause. Amanda even stayed late today to do an after hours cut to bump up the donation total! It was a great team building experience and everyone should be very proud of what you did.

I also would like to thank Pizza Delight for donating a couple pizzas to fuel our staff today!

Finally thanks to all our awesome customers that came in to help us donate today!

Here are a few pics from today, I will post more later ... I almost forgot to thank our special guest Elmo for entertaining the kids today.

Elmo helped direct traffic to our fundraiser!


This little guy was really excited to not only get a tattoo but also meet Elmo!

You couldn't wipe the smile off his face ... even with a Leafs shirt on :)

Hugs from Elmo

Even our own newest addition Jaxon got to meet Elmo!

Megan came by from the Ronald McDonald House Foundation for a photo with the big cheque!









Thanks again to everyone, especially our staff and 99.1 Hits FM for making this such a success. If anyone would like more information about Sharkeys please drop by the salon at 140 Stavanger Drive, call us at 722-CUTS(2887) or email us. I wonder when Elmo will visit again ... you never know who you will meet at Sharkeys!
