Gatsby Salon Condition for a Cure

Online, October 20, 2009 (Newswire.com) - October 20, 2009 (Green Brook, NJ) - Gatsby Salon will be joining the fight against breast cancer with Condition for a Cure. On Saturday, October 24th Gatsby Salon will donate 25% of all conditioning treatments to the Susan G. Komen North Jersey Affiliate, helping to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness and Research programs.

The month of October has become a symbol of hope and awareness for women of all ages and races. As the second most common cancer in women - and the second leading cause of cancer death - breast cancer represents a serious threat to women and their loved ones. The American Cancer Society estimates that 40,170 women will die of breast cancer in 2009 alone.

"At our salon, we have all been affected by breast cancer. Whether it be a loved one, a client or someone that they know, each of our stylists could tell you a story about how Breast Cancer has made an impact on their lives," says Gayle Giacomo, owner of Gatsby Salon. "That is why it was very important for us to help the cause and, as stylists, what better way to become a part of the fight while getting our clients involved than utilizing our popular conditioning treatment as a way to raise money."

As an additional incentive for employees to get involved in the fight against breast cancer, Gatsby Salon staff are able to participate in "Denim Day" on Saturday, October 24th in which they donate $5 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for the chance to wear denim jeans to work.
