On Friday, April 16, starting at 6 p.m., Salon 42 will be hosting a special event for the Charlotte Community to come together for one of its own.

At only 6 years of age, Ellie Potvin was diagnosed July 2, 2008, with a rare childhood cancer called Stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma. To her parents' shock, they learned only 3 percent of children in the United States have this type of rare pediatric cancer. Out of the 350 children total diagnosed per year, only 175 children have a survival rate past 5 years. 

The Potvin family is devastated by this crushing prognosis, yet have promised not stop fighting the odds till their precious twin daughter, Ellie, is cured of all cancer.

Come out to the Park Square Shopping Center for a fun family evening to help raise money for this sweet girl and her family!
 
We will have:

  • The Owner of Salon 42 will give Grace, Ellie's twin sister, and new "do"!
  • Chubby from the Charlotte Checkers
  • A surprise Princess visit
  • Spray painting hair for fun
  • Wine tastings from the Wine Shop
  • Waxing Services available
  • La Tea Da's offering finger bites
  • Fran's Filling Station will bring out the popcorn machine
  • Food and music
  • Kicks and Grins will keep their doors open late!
  • Marsh Properties will help us and block off some of the parking lot for the fun.
