HABB Day Raises £2,500 for the Benevolent

Dated: May 15, 2008 11:42 AM
An impressive £2,500 was raised by the hair and beauty industries for their own charity on the second annual HABB Day on Friday 2nd May 2008.
HABB President, Eva Proudman was delighted by the success of the fundraising day and is convinced that as time goes on HABB Day will become an even bigger and better date in the diary.
"Unlike the more established national charity days and months, HABB is only in its early stages and is very much promoted by word of mouth and a trade campaign amongst salons and companies familiar with the good work HABB does," she says
"It's an aim of the Fundraising Committee to continue shouting about this day, year on year, and hope that it quickly becomes a regular date in our industry's diary, just like other days/months have become."
HABB received support from a number of companies, each doing their own thing on the day to raise funds and awareness:
- A hugely impressive £1065 was donated by Sharon Malcolm following a mini-marathon sponsorship, collection jar on the reception and donations from her team
- The team at Guy Kremer donated their tips for the day to raise £25
- HABIA dressed up as cowboys on the day (pictured above) and raised over £230
- J&E Training collected donations from the team and hosted a student hair cut day to raise £170
- Jo Hansford team hosted a dress down day and charged their team a fee to participate and raised £50
- The administration team for Sean Hanna donated £45 on the day
- Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa donated £100 from their dress down day and selling demo products to their team
HABB Chairman, Phillip Rogers says: "Every penny raised from the day is used to help HABB's beneficiaries, which is essential.
"However, the day is also a way to talk about the charity's work and encourage as many professionals to get behind our own industry's charity - whether it's through supporting HABB Day or attending one of our organised events.
"A huge thanks goes out to all the companies who donated money for HABB Day and already this has increased from last year. We really hope to see more companies support the day next year."
If you'd still like to donate, are interested in helping HABB or have a fundraising initiative call 01372 849 639 or visit www.habb.org.

HABB Ball Raises More Than £10,000

Celebrity guests including Lesley Joseph, Cleo Rocos and A Place in the Sun's Amanda Lamb, along with a who's who of the hairdressing industry helped to raise over £10,000 for the Hair and Beauty Benevolent at the annual HABB Ball.
The event, the industry's first night of glamour of the year, marked the beginning of Racoon International's Eva Proudman's role as president of hairdressing's own charity.
She began by explaining how she herself had turned to an industry charity in her own hour of need after a car crash meant that her spine had to be fused.
Former president Jayne Lewis-Orr also delivered a reminder of the importance of the charity, by sharing the heart warming tale of Ruby, who lost her hairdresser mother Helen to breast cancer when she was just 11. HABB is paying for a school trip to New York and helping her to enjoy the same experiences as her classmates.
There were Presidents Awards for Jayne, for her work as charity president for the last three years, and Image International and Chambers Hair Design for their fundraising efforts in the past 12 months.
On the evening, huge amounts of much-needed funds were raised through a raffle, with amazing prizes including vouchers to spend in Harley Street, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols; an auction of money-can't-buy merchandise; and a silent auction that featured a Ben De Lisi dress and hairdryers designed by top hairdressers and made by Wahl.
But the biggest draw was a replica FA Cup, as won by Chelsea in 2007, which was bought be Anthony Mascolo for a whopping £2,500.
While raising money and awareness for HABB was the focus of the evening, there was still plenty of fun to be had.
Richard Ward, Marc Antoni, Akin Konizi and hob creative, Tim Hartley, Errol Douglas, Johnny Engstrom Artistic Director of Guy Kremer, Andrew Barton and the Saks Art Team, Effi Davies at Toni & Guy, Seanhanna Artistic Team and Sassoon all wowed the guests with hair shows inspired by the theme 'Fashioning the Olympics'.
And disco diva Kym Mazelle, belted out her anthems 'Young Hearts Run Free' and 'Love Me the Right Way' before the industry's own DJ, Desmond Murray took to the decks for a party.

Recipes featured in the book range from the Queen of Colour, Jo Hansford’s delicious ‘Hansford Fishy Pie’, Richard Ward’s ‘Richard’s Supreme Chicken’, Andrew Barton’s ‘Barton’s Borsch’, Errol Douglas ‘Errol’s Mussels’, Phil Smith's ‘Phil’s Cheeky Breast’ and other mouth watering dishes.
Cutting Edge Cooks is available for just £3 plus p+p and all the proceeds from the sales will be donated to HABB thanks to the books sponsor, Goldwell

If you ask the Hair & Beauty Benevolent, the answer to all of these is yes – but we need your support.
