Couture 360 Raises $1,200 For 'Home Of The Sparrow'

Salon raised the money during an event to celebrate winning "Salon of Distinction" award.

recently raised $1,200 for Home of the Sparrow during an event held to celebrate the salon being named one of Salon Today's Top 20 Salons of 2011.

“It was a high-energy event and everyone had so much fun! The salon was so full; we couldn’t check everyone in because we were at capacity,” said salon owner Rose DePaola.

The event was held July 22. Because every event at is tied to a charity, guests were invited to donate $25 to Home of the Sparrow, a McHenry-based shelter for women and children. In return, donors received five tickets for the evening's raffle.

“I was amazed at the attendance and the amount of money we were able to raise. I am so proud to be a member of such a supportive community,” DePaola said.

Everyone who attended the event received a swag bag with complementary deluxe samples, services and discounts valued at more than $200. The salon also held a VIP reception.
