Vidal Sassoon led a group to a construction site Monday in Slidell, where Habitat for Humanity was building homes for victims of Hurricane Katrina and others in need of housing.
In all, Sassoon and company have raised $1.7 million for Hairdressers Unlocking Hope, an international fundraising effort by beauty professionals. The group's donation went to the East St. Tammany Habitat for Humanity, which is building 21 houses with the money. Sassoon personally donated another $100,000 for the construction of the first two homes, which last fall went to a single mother of five and a family of four.
Surprised? I was, but am appreciative of his work and charity to help others.
