Originating from the compassionate efforts of two professional barbers, Timmel Pittman & Lonnie Horne, "Heat the Streets" has grown into a beacon of hope and solidarity in Sacramento. Recognizing the profound impact of this initiative, Booksy is now joining forces to expand its reach and support the cause. The upcoming event this Christmas promises to be a significant gathering for the community, continuing the tradition of providing warmth and support to those in need.
"Heat the Streets" is a testament to the spirit of the Sacramento community and the power of individual initiative.
Ulrico Talamanca, Booksy GM of Americas, emphasizes, "This initiative embodies what Booksy stands for – supporting not just our service providers but also the communities they serve. We are honored to be part of an event that started from the heart of one of our own."
