What is Hope Cuts?

Hope Cuts is a an event run by City of Hope. Each year in early November participating salons in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. offer discounted salon prices to customers. Activities such as raffles are held and many Hope Cuts branded goodie bags are given out. Salons donate a portion of their proceeds to the work done through City of Hope. City of Hope is one of the few National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in the country. They are an "independent biomedical research treatment and education institute." They are also leaders in the "fight to conquer cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and other life threatening diseases." More information on City of Hope and Hope Cuts can be found at www.cityofhope.org.
