Wella, the salon professional division of P&G, proudly announced the 20 inaugural finalists of the Wella “Supports Your Cause” Charity Challenge. A total of $43,000 in grants will be awarded to hairdressers and salon owners who demonstrated compelling dedication to community outreach programs. One grand prize of $10,000, two first prizes of $5,000, four second prizes of $2,500 and thirteen third prizes of $1,000 will be announced June 27th, 2013.
The Wella “Supports Your Cause” Charity Challenge is part of Wella’s Hairdressers at Heart program, which provides lifetime career support at four critical stages of a hairdresser’s career: student, new talent, working hairdresser and salon owner. Aimed to help hairdressers and salon owners amplify their contributions to charity within their local communities, the competition garnered 112 entries from across North America. Participants submitted videos and essays that revealed their passion and actionable efforts towards causes such as heart disease research, domestic abuse shelters and autism awareness. Finalists were chosen by a combination of web-based public voting and a judging panel of industry experts.
