“Haircuts with Hearts” at Sport Clips to support local children

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) – Throughout the week of June 14-20, Sport Clips in Idaho Falls is turning every trim into an opportunity to support Camp Hayden and local students in need.

Beginning on Sunday, June 14, Sport Clips on East 17th Street is hosting "Haircuts with Hearts" week, where a portion of all proceeds from haircut services will go to Camp Hayden. One dollar for every full-priced MVP haircut experience and $3 for every ultimate MVP haircut will be donated.

"(this) campaign is near and dear to us because we know that not all individuals are going to have access to the same activities. And we want to bring that to different families in the community and help them to be able to have activities as a whole family and to be able to enjoy that together," Laura Hafen, Sport Clips Area Manager, said.

Camp Hayden is a local organization working to provide accessible adventures for people with disabilities and their families. They host a variety of indoor and outdoor opportunities for disabled community members every year, regardless of ability. Sport Clips is encouraging everyone to look sharp while giving back and making a difference to those in need.

"Since it's benefiting Camp Hayden, it's a pretty awesome little spot. I mean, giving kids, opportunities that they might not normally have in an understanding, supportive environment. So I think it's great when we can help out the kids," Bryan Shumway, a longtime patron, said.

Sport Clips will also have QR codes available for clients to donate.

The business is also collecting hair care products from purchases in store for District 93 school closets to help students who may not have easy access to hair products at home.

The idea of came to Sport Clips' manager, Vi Moon, when she saw her son getting ready.

"So as many people know, 16 year olds are very particular about their hair. And it kind of just hit me one day as (my son) was loading up his hair with products and making sure that everything was ready for his school day, (and) that some people probably don't have the opportunity to have those extra products for things that kids want daily," Moon said.

The fundraisers go on until June 20, and clients who donate will receive a coupon for their next visit.
