Now Accepting Donations and Applications for Aid from
Beauty Professionals Affected by Recent Flooding in the Southern States
Phoenix, AZ (May 6, 2010) The PBA | NCA Disaster Relief Fund was established in 1955 to assist salons in rebuilding following the devastation of a natural disaster. Over the course of five decades, the Disaster Relief Fund has been there for beauty professionals in times of dire need, as it is now with the recent flooding in Tennessee and tornados in Mississippi. PBA | NCA is asking all industry professionals to make their tax deductible donations to the PBA | NCA Disaster Relief Fund – a unique effort that provides 100% of all funds raised directly to beauty industry professionals in need.
Particularly hard hit, parts of Tennessee received as much as a foot of rain leading to numerous road closures and forcing evacuations. Floods typically require long-lasting relief operations given that waters can take days to recede and can wreak havoc on homes and businesses.
“The PBA | NCA Disaster Relief Fund is a perfect way for our industry to come together and help support fellow beauty professionals in their time of need,” states Steve Sleeper, Executive Director of the Professional Beauty Association.
Donations can be made to the PBA | NCA Disaster Relief Fund online, by mail, or by phone. Contributions can be made online by credit card by simply completing the online donation form at: www.ncacares.org/resources/disasterrelief.cfm.
Check or money order donations should be made payable to PBA | NCA Disaster Relief Fund and mailed to 15825 N. 71st Street, Suite 100, Scottsdale, AZ 85254.
