MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 13 // PRNewswire // -- In October, Regis Corporation (NYSE: RGS), the global leader in the haircare industry, will kick off its annual Clip for the Cure, a month-long campaign to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research in support of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To date, the company's dedicated stylists and clients have raised more than $6.5 million for the cause.

Regis Corporation salons are taking part in the October Clip for the Cure campaign in a variety of ways. On select days throughout the month, thousands of stylists at participating Regis Salons, SmartStyle, Supercuts, MasterCuts, Fiesta Salons, HairMasters and TGF Hair Salons will offer specially priced haircuts or donate a percentage of each haircut to the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.

Also as part of the campaign, salons will donate 10% of net proceeds from the sale of private label products, including customer favorites like DESIGNLINE® and MasterCuts' M|C line, to the Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. Participating salons include Regis Salons, SmartStyle, MasterCuts, BoRics, Fiesta Salons, TGF Hair Salons, Best Cuts, Saturday's, Holiday Hair, Head Start, Famous Hair, Style America, HairMasters and Cool Cuts 4 Kids as well as select Supercuts, Cost Cutters, First Choice Haircutters and Magicuts locations. To further raise awareness, salons participating in the month-long campaign will have limited-edition pink products available for purchase, including tote bags, tumblers and pins.

In 1990, Regis Corporation began efforts to raise awareness of breast cancer research, education and prevention. The Regis Foundation for Breast Cancer Research provides support for early diagnosis, prevention, treatment and a cure. Currently, the Foundation is supporting groundbreaking research at the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, along with other nationally recognized centers that are leading the way in breast cancer research.

According to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, more than 200,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women in 2010. One in eight women is at risk of getting breast cancer in her lifetime.
