Great Clips donates $10k to Legion's Buzz Cut Challenge

Verna Jones, executive director of The American Legion’s Washington, D.C., office, appeared on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Sunday morning with representatives from Great Clips and a group of Boys Scouts who participated in the Legion’s Buzz Cut Challenge.

The Scouts got buzz cuts during the segment, and Great Clips donated $10,000 on behalf of the Scouts to the Legion to assist the organization’s efforts in supporting veterans, the military and their families.

“With donations like this, we’ll be able to continue to advocate for veterans’ health and navigate through the VA system, and just (do) all kinds of things that veterans need,” Jones said. “We’re so grateful for Great Clips – and for our relationship with the Boys Scouts.”

Great Clips’ Nicole Massey also announced that anyone who gets a haircut on Veterans Day at Great Clips will receive a free haircut card to give to a veteran or active-duty servicemember.

The Buzz Cut Challenge is a collaborative effort between the Legion and Great Clips. The Legion is conducting community-based Buzz Cut Challenge events in more than a dozen cities across the country from Nov. 2-10. For a suggested donation of $10 at these events, Great Clips stylists will provide buzz cuts to attendees willing to let their hair hit the floor to support veterans and their families.
