News : Clipper Corner holds Annual Fundraising event for Gifts of Hope

Breast Cancer Awareness month brings annual raffle and fundraiser to Clipper Corner

In October each year, since 2018, Clipper Corner pulls out all the stops to help the Gifts of Hope Foundation with their fundraising efforts. The shop is in its 37th year and is helping to lend a hand to those who need a little extra help during a breast cancer diagnosis.

Clipper Corner in its first year raised $725 and has beat the previous year's fundraising. Last year the shop raised $2030 and owner Mary Barkdoll hopes to top that amount this year. This year four different baskets are going to be included for the raffle. Each basket is full of items and one includes a beautiful handmade afghan. The baskets are filled with several other pink-themed items. The shop is also offering hats, keychains and other items to help raise even more money for the foundation. 

Also available is a touch of pink included in your hair this year! For longer hair, you can get a peek-a-boo pink streak for $10 or a ribbon detail design if you have shorter hair for $5.

Raffle tickets are $5 each or 6 for $25. The raffle will end on October 31.

Clipper Corner is located at 220 W. 4th St. in downtown Vinton. Stop down and help support the shop in their efforts to support the community!
