Adara's 11th Annual Cut-a-thon: Digital Raffle
Adara has teamed up with ACT Alberta (Action Coalition on Human Trafficking) for our 11th Annual CUT-A-THON, but this year, with a twist! In the past, we hosted haircuts by donation outside of the salon with a barbeque and raffle – but due to the pandemic this year, we have had to make some slight adjustments to our approach to ensure the safety of everyone wanting to participate. For this year’s event we will be hosting an online raffle with 100% of the proceeds going to ACT Alberta.
The Digital Raffle will be held for approximately two weeks from September 1st - September 12th, 2020. Winners will be selected on September 12th at 6 PM and contacted the following business week. The Facebook event date has been set to September 12th as a reminder for your last chance to purchase tickets!
All raffle items will be posted digitally for ease of access via this event and our Facebook business page with "prize numbers" attached to each item or package. Some items might also be on display at one of our two salon locations. The purchase of raffle tickets may be done by e-transferring the salon directly, or coming into the salon to purchase tickets.
Ticket Pricing:
1 Entry for $3.00
2 Entries for $5.00
5 Entries for $10.00
To purchase digitally, please e-transfer the salon at 'adarastudio@live.com' (Please Note: Automatic deposits have been enabled and we will not require a password for the transaction). To finalize your entry via e-transfer, please add the following information to your notes: Your name, your preferred method of contact, and your top 3 prize selections (Both prize names or prize numbers will be accepted). If you have any sort of issues, please contact the salon for assistance and one of our amazing team members will help you through the process. Otherwise, you are more than welcome to physically come into the salon to purchase your raffle tickets following our COVID-19 safety protocols.
ACT Alberta works in collaboration with local, provincial and national partners to identify, respond to and prevent human trafficking.
They coordinate and provide services to individuals experiencing human trafficking, provide training and education, conduct research and data analysis and build capacity for community based response.
Although Adara Hair & Body Studio will not be able to offer haircuts by donation due to health and safety concerns as per our usual CUT-A-THON tradition, we will be offering some lucky winners a Cut and Styling session with some of our amazing stylists! Please Note: Winners must redeem their free appointment by November 30th, 2020.
It is our hope that even during difficult times, we can continue to make the world a more beautiful place - together!
