Minnesota Cosmetology School Donates Funds and More To Local Shelter

The Eden Prairie, MN, Empire Beauty School raised nearly $1,600 during Empire Education Group’s National Day of Beauty event in support of Empire Gives Back. The school adopted a local shelter to donate 100% of the proceeds from the one day of beauty services to benefit victims of domestic abuse.

The beauty school students, faculty and staff also collected necessities for the shelter they adopted, such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, socks, and more items for the shelter residents.

“It was so amazing to see everyone work together as a team during this event and to see how much we could raise for this great cause! The students and staff were really excited about this cause. We were even featured in the StarTribune, which is Minnesota’s largest newspaper publication. We have had a number of clients coming in saying that they read the article on us and more importantly on domestic violence!” added Aistrop.
