Great Clips salons in the Bend area are joining efforts with Susan G. Komen to raise funds for breast cancer research, prevention, and awareness. The independently owned and operated Great Clips will be raising funds in salons throughout the month of May.
From May 1-31, customers who visit a participating salon can donate any amount to Susan G. Komen and receive a coupon for $2 off their next haircut. Customers can visit any of the following salons to help make an impact:
- 4149 – Bend Costco, 20789 NW Henry Ave, Bend, OR 97703
- 6601 – Fred Meyer Center | 61545 S Hwy 97, Bend, OR 97703
- 6602 – Red Rock Center | 355 NW Oak Tree Ln, Redmond OR 97756
“Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting women in the U.S., but progress in research and early detection is saving lives,” said franchisee Tamara Bitticks, owner of three Great Clips salons in Bend, OR. “With Mother’s Day coming up, our salons and stylists see May is the perfect time to partner with the community to fundraise for Susan G. Komen to help advance research, expand access to care, and move closer to a future without this disease.”
This fundraiser marks the first year of partnership between Great Clips salons and Susan G. Komen. While the May fundraiser is a focused campaign for Bend salons, Great Clips across the U.S. and Canada also support those affected by cancer year-round through the Clips of Kindness® program. This ongoing initiative offers free clipper cuts to anyone undergoing cancer treatment, giving them the chance to face hair loss on their own terms. Since 2013, the Clips of Kindness program has given over 500k free clipper cuts to customers undergoing cancer treatment.
“For many, choosing when and how to lose their hair is a meaningful way to reclaim control during a difficult time and this service is one way Great Clips salons continue to stand with those impacted by cancer,” said Tamara.
