Hi Laurel,

Sorry for the delayed reply. Been away for a couple of days. It is never too late. Just phrase your press release to say “Recently” or “Recent”. If your photos are fun (don’t forget to caption them) and the cause a good one you may well get a nibble. After you send the release to your target editors wait a couple of weeks then call to ask if there was any interest in that story. Don’t ask if they got your release. Of course they did. If you’re asked to send another you’re steps ahead.

If they feel your passion for the cause it accomplishes a lot. Place your focus on the local Epilepsy organization rather than your salon. You’ll get kudos by asking for someone else. Let us know how it goes.

I had a cut-a-thon at my salon may16 to raise money for the epilepsy association of central florida in brevard county. It was an awesome event. We raised $2200. We did 56 haircuts that day! Another salon came and worked with me. I have epilepsy and this was very important to me. We gave out bike helmets, had raffles and educated about epilepsy. It was a very rewarding day.
I meant to send the pictures I had taken to a local magazine we have in our area but honestly I was just worn out.. lol. Is it too late 2 months later? I should have done it immediately after I know.
We have the best career. I am able to give back through my work. It is an awesome feeling.
