Giving Back
we live here, we give here.
Nothing gives us more pleasure than raising money for various charities and organizations. Women’s health issues are the closest to our heart since many of our beloved guests and staff members have been effected by breast cancer and other diseases. Our generous team of professionals loves to donate their time to fashion shows and “make overs” for local charities including the Ellie Fund’s Oscar Night Boston event. Buddy and David are both members of the South Shore Hospital Presidents Circle and do whatever they can to help the hospital. We are particularly involved in raising money for South Shore Hospital’s Journey of Hope Campaign which benefits their brand new cancer center.
Back in Black Fashion Show
Charles David Salon joined the Norwell Women's Club again this year for their annual Spring Fashion Show fundraiser, "Back in Black". The event was a smashing success, raising over $14,000 for South Shore charities. The models looked stunning, as the Charles David team, with Jane Iredale artists, provided all the hairstyling and make-up. Guests left with “schwag" bags, filled with samples from Murad, Redken, Pureology and Jane Iredale. Below you will see some photos take by Renee Pithie and be sure to check out video from the event on the monitors in the salon coming soon!
moreAnnual Kelley for Ellie Fundraiser
One of our favorite annual events is the Kelley for Ellie Fundraiser. The fashion show is in honor of NewsCenter 5 reporter Kelley Tuthill who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and conceived by her WCVB Channel 5 News coworker and Tuthill’s close friend, Susan Wornick. All proceeds benefit the Ellie Fund a Needham-based breast cancer charity which supports the families of women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Over 350 people attended the star studded event (including Wes Welker from the Patriots) and $71,000 was raised. Charles David Salon was happy to donate styling services to bring out the natural beauty of all the models. For more information about the Ellie Fund, go to www.elliefund.org.
