"Day to Live Beautifully" with Angel Hair Foundation...

September 27 - Angel Hair Foundation Event in West Linn, Oregon. The Angel Hair Foundation held a "Day to Live Beautifully" in partnership with still Sit Still Salon for children facing medical challenges and treatment that often results in hair loss.

The amazing staff at Sit Still Salon pampered the kids in a fun filled day of fingernail paints, make-up and hair styles.  I spent a wonderful day with children and teens speaking to them about confidence, strength and the importance of family.

Each child was given a gift basket with styling accessories from many generous supporters and Angel Hair announced a special partnership with Disney on Ice. Family packs and backstage passes were given to each of the girls to attend the opening night of Disney on Ice’s newest show, “Dare to Dream” at the Rose Garden in Portland.

Special thanks to Sit Still Salon and Angel Hair Foundation for their generous love and support.
