(East Northport, N.Y.) An opportunity to get a fresh look with a new haircut, enjoy snacks and beverages donated by local businesses, win valuable raffle prizes, help a worthy cause and learn more about a serious disease that affects 23.6 million children and adults in the United States will be presented by Salon 3028 (located at 3028B, East Northport, NY) for the Long Island Chapter of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) on Sunday, March 29, 2009 from 9am – 5pm.  For a minimum contribution of $30 for a wash, haircut and blow out, offered to women, men and children. 

Appointments are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome; to schedule a haircut please call 631-486-5095.

All proceeds from ‘Cuts for the Cure’ will benefit the American Diabetes Association Step out Walk for Diabetes, which will take place on October 11, 2009.  The ADA is leading the fight against the deadly consequences of diabetes and fighting for those affected by diabetes. The Association funds research to prevent, cure and manage diabetes; delivers services to hundreds of communities; provides objective and credible information; and gives voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes.  Even if you do not need a haircut, stop by and donate to the cause by buying a raffle ticket.

“Everyone on the Salon 3028 team is delighted to donate their time and skill for such a worthy cause, says Rob Traina, Owner and stylist at Salon 3028.”  “We were inspired to raise funds for diabetes because many of our clients and co-workers are affected by this disease and this was a way we could give back.”

About Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles.
