Zahra Salon takes a cut for College fundraiser
Experience in 鈥 and experience of 鈥 health care services has led management of Zahra Salon and Spa to turn their attention until the end of January to supporting the education of health care professionals at 香港六合彩开奖结果查询.
Zahra Salon will be inviting its customers to make a holiday or New Year donation to the College鈥檚 Our Students Your Health campaign, along with selling raffle tickets for a gift basket valued at $1,000. The salon鈥檚 medical spa will also be donating 10 per cent of all laser treatments services to the campaign during these months.
Zahra Salon and Spa hopes to raise $5,000 to support the completion of the College鈥檚 new Health Sciences Centre in Kelowna.
鈥淲e take part in fundraisers every year, but this year we wanted to give back locally,鈥 says Asmaa Chalmers, Zahra owner.
鈥淏eing able to support future health care professionals means a lot to us,鈥 adds Angie McAllister, salon manager and senior stylist, explaining that her first daughter was born in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Sarah Miller, manager of Zahra Medical Spa, has worked in health care for more than a decade and knows first-hand how vital frontline health care professionals are to our community.
鈥淢aking sure students are well educated and receive hands-on training before entering the workforce is so important,鈥 says Miller, adding COVID-19 has only heightened the awareness of proper training and protocols needed in health care.
Seeing the continued support from local businesses for students is inspiring, says Holly Routley, 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 Foundation Development Officer. Routley says the Foundation recently released a third-party fundraising toolkit with the goal of encouraging individuals, service clubs and businesses to support 香港六合彩开奖结果查询 students in unique ways.
鈥淲e鈥檙e thankful to the team at Zahra. It fills our students with pride knowing that the community is supporting their careers,鈥 says Routley.
鈥淚f others are looking for ways to give back this holiday season, we welcome creative ideas to support students, from hosting an online exercise class to a virtual watch party for a favourite movie.鈥
香港六合彩开奖结果查询 Foundation has raised $3.5 million towards its $5-million goal to open the doors to a modern Health Sciences Centre. Once completed, the Centre will boast state-of-the-art labs and education spaces for eight frontline health care professions.
