Cutters Donates $10,000 to Cancer Research;
Raises $20,000 in Matching Funds for Andy North
Clip Cancer Fundraiser
December 20, 2006
Bill Kaminski, owner of 45 Cost Cutter Hair Salons in
Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, reports
that the Andy North Clip Cancer Matching Fundrasier
has been met, which results in a $20,000 donation.
Kaminski
recently announced on a Madison television station
he would donate up to $10,000 in matching funds
to the UW Paul P. Carbone Comprehensive Research
Cancer Center in honor of two-time U.S. golf champion
Andy North.
Kaminski, who developed a friendship
with Andy North over the many years he has cut his
hair, shaved North's head on
the television show to prepare for a medical procedure
related to skin cancer North has been fighting since
1991. The procedure, called
photodynamic therapy involves using a topical drug
on North's head. A blue light
then shows where any precancerous cells may be lurking
and eliminates them.
This
proves that good matches happen both on and off
the golf course, Kaminski said. The
positive reaction to the $10,000 matching fund was
immediate and impactful. Andy has a lot of friends
and supporters who came through for our clip cancer
fundraiser.
Kaminski,
who only cuts hair a few times a year for special
friends, is owner and president of the largest Cost
Cutters Hair Salon franchise in the country. Corporate
offices are in Madison, Wi. |
