HairCo Tarpon Displays 'Shear' Compassion in Holiday Donation

The salon collected a large number of toys and clothing for a well-known local charity.

Clients at HairCo Tarpon, along with staff, have been donating goods since the end of November and finally were able to drop off a special delivery to the Cops 'n Kids Christmas program in Tarpon Springs.

HairCo Tarpon participated last year and received so much support that they decided to go for round two in 2012.

In the salon's announcement on Tarpon Springs Patch, Amberly Philipps wrote, "Merry Christmas and thank you for all the support! We look forward to helping again next year!"
