For the 12th year in a row, over 14,000 "Future Professionals" and staff members from Paul Mitchell Schools spent three months raising money for charity through a challenge they call "FUNRaising." This year's $1.7 million addition brings the grand total to more than $15.2 million. The Gala celebration on May 3, 2015 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA was co-hosted by Dean and Co-Founder of Paul Mitchell Schools Winn Claybaugh and NCIS star Pauley Perrette, with special guests Magic Johnson, Dolph Lundgren, Leeza Gibbons, Gary Sinise, Fran Drescher, Marie Osmond, Eden Sassoon, Kathy Buckley, John Paul DeJoria, and others, plus entertainment by impressionist Jeff Tracta.
“Over the past 12 years that we’ve been raising money for a variety of charities, I’ve learned that we must always keep our hearts and intentions in the right place," says Claybaugh. "Whether our businesses are highly profitable or below our projections, we must continue to be a part of Generation G—the G stands for generosity. I firmly believe in the law of attraction, meaning that what we put out there comes back to us, so we will always put good thoughts, words, and actions out to the universe.”
