October 01, 2012 // Franchising.com // MINNEAPOLIS – Every October, Great Clips salons from coast to coast work together to help local children’s hospitals by selling Children’s Miracle Network balloons. At participating salons, consumers receive $2 off a future haircut for each balloon purchased. All of the funds raised go directly to the market’s local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

Great Clips has a strong belief in giving back to the communities where we live and operate, raising nearly $2 million dollars for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals since the inception of the miracle balloon campaign. “The generosity of all the people associated with Great Clips, either as an owner, stylist or customer help make this campaign a success,” said Terri Miller, vice president of marketing and communications for Great Clips.

“We are thrilled that so many Great Clips salons take the initiative to help raise money for Children’s Miracle Network,” said George Mathis, director corporate partnerships for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “Great Clips has always been a very charitable organization centered on the needs of their local community, and we are happy to have been a beneficiary of their generosity as a corporate partner since 2005.”
