This year, I co-sponsored the 12th Annual Free Hair Cut & Style Day event, which took place at Cain’s Barber College, Chicago, on Labor Day, September 5, 2011, in conjunction with Chicago Area Project (CAP), Alderman Pat Dowell (3rd Ward), State Representative Ken Dunkin (D-5) and Greater Harvest M.B. Church. Barbers and stylists from Cain’s Barber College and other salons donated their services. The Labor Day Free Hair Cut & Style Day serviced more than 300 low-income kids, ages 5-17, who want to look their best on the first day of school. In addition, each participant received a free book-bag filled with school supplies.
