With a Total of $15,000 Awarded to 3 Winners
Across North America
Wella, the salon professional division of P&G, is proud to
announce the three Prize Winners of the #WellaCares Challenge as,
Grand Prize Winner Adrienne Peters, Second Prize Winner Mandie
Barnes, and Third Prize Winner Stephanie Gearheart. Each will
receive $7,500, $5,000, and $2,500 respectively for their
dedication and commitment to charity-related efforts.
Grand Prize Winner, Adrienne Peters, from Revel 8 Salon &
Spa, was awarded $7,500 for her work on Fostering a Revelation.
Fostering a Revelation is a movement that was started at Revel 8
Salon and Spa, and is a program that takes children who are aging
out of foster care and brings them into the Revel 8 salon family.
Adrienne is able to mentor them through hair school, making sure
all expenses are covered during their training, as well as the
beginning of their careers. Upon completing hair school, the
students enter into an eighteen month internship and finally become
a full time stylist at Revel 8 Salon & Spa. Adrienne plans to
use the award to help grow the movement throughout the industry,
allowing other salons the opportunity to serve their communities
and grow the hairdresser community by helping provide the best
education possible. “I have been so blessed by the benefits that
come with being a hair stylist.” Adrienne says, “I only hope to
share that with the children in my community who need not only a
career to take care of their financial wellbeing, but a family to
care for their emotional wellbeing as well. That’s what we are at
Revel 8, a family.”
Second Prize Winner Mandie Barnes, from Avenue Salon was awarded
$5,000 for her work with Haircuts for the Homeless, a charity event
that provided people in need with haircuts. Mandie, along with her
salon family, used their day off to host an event where they gave
those in need free haircuts as well as socks, mittens and food.
With the award Mandie plans on hosting a similar event but on a
larger scale. “I’d like to not only give free haircuts in downtown
Salt Lake City, but I’d like to get shampoo bowls so we can
actually wash their hair.” Maddie says, “I’d like to give out fresh
clean shirts, and of course food. With the prize I was awarded I
feel we can reach a lot more people and do more than we did last
year. I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to do more for
my community.”
In addition to Adrienne and Mandie, Third Prize Winner Stephanie
Gearheart, from Prime Designz Salon was awarded $2,500 for her work
with The Daisy Project, a charity that provides children with
disabilities an equal opportunity to participate on playgrounds by
installing adaptive equipment. Stephanie and her salon have
participated in cut-a-thons, and booth events where 100% of the
proceeds went to The Daisy Project and were able to attend the
cutting of Let Them Play playground which included adaptive
playground equipment, such as a wheel chair accessible swing set
and auto-sensory equipment. Stephanie plans on donating her award
to The Daisy Project. “My dedication to improving the lives of
children with disabilities will not stop with a swing set.”
Stephanie says, “We recently committed our fundraising efforts to
purchasing an adaptive merry-go-round so children can ride along
with their siblings and parents, together we can make a
difference.”
The next #WellaCares Challenge will commence in the Spring of
2017. For more information and updates, please, visit
