More than 850 beauty industry executives and salon professionals attended the City of Hope’s National Professional Salon Industry 2014 Spirit of Life gala in Las Vegas on July 12, and more than $850,000 has been raised so far in honor of 2014 Spirit of Life Honoree Harlan Kirschner, president of The Kirschner Group, Inc. Now, everyone can help “Celebrate Cures” by experiencing the event’s first-ever digital edition of the campaign journal!

The City of Hope digital journal includes photos from the gala event, special updates from City of Hope, a feature on Kirschner and his family, and results of MODERN SALON’s Healthy Hairdresser research project, held in cooperation with City of Hope, which focuses on helping to indentify salon professionals’ health problems and concerns.
