Fundraiser for the Fenske Family

October 5, 2014 was a day that started what has been a long journey for the Fenske family. After experiencing troubling stomach pain, Peter was admitted to the hospital for a case of pancreatitis. After three days, it was determined that Peter had gallbladder disease. On November 10th, Peter had his gallbladder removed. During the operation, the doctors found cysts on Peter’s liver and a growth in his gallbladder. After two weeks, his doctor called and said the word no one ever wants to hear: cancer. After some treatments in Virginia, the Fenske’s decided the best place to treat Peter would be at the Cancer Treatment Center in Philadelphia, PA.

Their journey has been filled with much joy and much sorrow – many highs and many lows. Communities have rallied around to support the family through many, many prayers, cooking meals, and helping with the Fenske’s two sweet, young children Allison and Aiden.

There are so many expenses involved in battling cancer. These expenses come at a time when the family needs to focus on healing and supporting each other, and not worrying about how additional expenses will be met.

We are holding a raffle to win a half day of beauty at Salon Khouri — all monies raised will be donated to Peter’s GoFundMe to help the family with expenses. The half day of beauty will include a hair color and cut, a conditioning treatment, a Signature Facial, a brow wax and a paraffin hand treatment.

Additionally, the gracious owners of Kid Junction in Chantilly, VA have donated 10 passes to Kid Junction, Chantilly.

Raffle tickets are $5 each. You can purchase raffle tickets using the buttons below. You will have the option to choose more than one raffle ticket on the next screen — the more you purchase, the better your odds are, and you are helping lighten the financial burden of the Fenkse’s, and for that, we are so grateful:

Protecting the poor from violence in the developing world …

We just love the simplicity of the mission statement of International Justice Mission: We are a global organization that protects the poor from violence in the developing world.

Typically, when we think of helping the poor, the first thing that comes to mind is food and shelter. These are clearly needed and it’s a blessing that people come forward to help with the most basic of needs. However, the poor are often neglected when it comes to justice. They are stepped on, forgotten, abused and left without defense. That’s where the International Justice Mission steps in. Their global team includes hundreds of lawyers, investigators, social workers, community activists and other professionals at work in nearly 20 communities.

Their work includes rescuing victims, bringing criminals to justice, giving victims the support and tools they need to heal and thrive, and strengthening justice systems by stopping violence before it starts.

Did you know that 32 million people are enslaved worldwide? And that 1 out of 5 women is a victim of rape or attempted rape? And that 5 million people are chased from their homes every day?

We encourage you to learn more about IJM by visiting their website or watching this short video on Suhana’s story.

This April, we will be donating $1 from every haircut to this very important organization doing amazing work around the world to help bring justice to the poor.

Helping save hearts, one gal at a time …

It’s February – a time to focus on love, right? Hearts are everywhere in celebration Valentine’s Day, so we totally get why the American Heart Association chose February as the month to talk about women’s heart disease. Did you know that one in three women die of heart disease and stroke? It is the number one killer of women. But, the good news is, there are simple things you can do each day to prevent becomeing a part of these statistics! Visit https://www.GoRedForWomen.org and sign up for their heart tips. They will share little tricks that will make a world of difference, such as replacing your office chair with an exercise ball, or one of our personal favorites, calling an old friend to chat to reduce stress!

This February, we are once again supporting the Go Red for Women Scholarship Fund through the American Heart Association by donating $1 from every haircut to the Go Red for Women Scholarship Fund. We love supporting women looking to move mountains in the world of health! We are certain that one of these gals will make a difference in the lives of many, through their care and service to others. We encourage you to share information about this scholarship with others!

This seemed like a great idea … in July!

Updated 3-3-2015 … here are some photos of our 2015 Polar Dip … brrrr!!!! The salon raised and donated over $5,000 toward the event and the event overall raised over $114k for Camp Sunshine! We are looking forward to teaming up again for next year!!!!

Since 2007, Salon Khouri has been holding various fundraising events and donating to childhood cancer groups to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer. In July, we were asked by the lovely founder of the Reston Virginia Polar Dip, Gail Toth, to jump in the Virginia Polar Dip. It seemed like a GREAT idea … in July. Now that it’s January, and the dip is sneaking up on is in February, it seems like a CRAZY idea. However, we will do just about anything for these kiddos, so we are happy to take the plunge!!!!

All money goes to support Camp Sunshine. Camp Sunshine provides respite, support, joy, and hope to children with life-threatening illnesses and their immediate families from around the world through the various stages of their journeys. The year-round program is free of charge to all families, and includes 24-hour onsite medical and psychosocial support. Camp Sunshine also provides bereavement sessions for families who have lost a child to supported illnesses.

Please help our team reach our goal by making a donation to our team or, better yet, become a member of our team and take the plunge with us! Anyone who donates will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE haircut or facial. Anyone who joins our team receives a FREE haircut!!!

DETAILS

EVENT DATE: 02/07/2015

Plunge: 2 PM
Registration: 12 PM

Location: Reston Community Center, Lake Anne Village Center, Reston, VA 20190

With the strength of an event such as the Virginia Polar Dip and the resources of Camp Sunshine, it is our goal to raise in excess of $100,000.00 in 2015. That is enough to send 50 families from the Mid-Atlantic area (including VA/MD/DC/DE/PA/WV/NC) to attend Camp Sunshine.
