GIVING BACK Beneﬁt Performances A Night to Remember Dawn’s Pizzazz Artistic Group & Day Spa in Danbury, Connecticut recently hosted “A Benefit with Pizzazz,” a true-to-its-name fashion fundraiser to help defray the cost of care and medical expenses for three-year-old Francesco Cipollone, who was born with a rare brain disorder. The staff volunteered their time and services, as did the models sporting fashions supplied by local merchants. A sell-out crowd of 500 was treated to a memorable evening of beauty, entertainment and goodie bags with products from L’Oréal Professionnel, and Olivier New York. Door prizes, donated by local businesses, were also awarded. Through sponsorships, program ads, donations and ticket sales, more than $62,000 was raised for the cause. In association with the Debra foundation, Conair Corporation recently treated 50 children and their families to a performance of Wintuk by Cirque du Soliel. All the children suffer from a painful skin disease—Epidermolysis Bullosa—that is characterized by extremely fragile skin that blisters at the slightest touch. The only known treatment is to cover the sores and healthy skin with bandages, a costly expense not covered by HMOs. The Debra foundation is dedicated to promoting treatment, providing information, supporting patients and searching for a cure.
