Haircut Charity Attracts Edwards


Haircut Charity Attracts Edwards





Presidential hopeful John Edwards inadvertently made the late night comedy shows this year when his campaign spending reports included two $400 haircuts. Now Mrs. Edwards has joined other candidates helping a Concord hair stylist who wants to turn the controversy into help for a good cause.

David Holden owns Hair Biz on Main Street, a couple of doors away from an Edwards campaign office. After the Democratic former senator's haircut made news last spring, Holden challenged presidential hopefuls to come in for $400 haircuts of their own, promising to donate all of the proceeds to autism research. His 12-year-old son has autism.

...

This personal check is a small down payment on a larger promise John made some time ago to make the lives of children with disabilities and their families better," she wrote.

Holden typically charges $17 for a man's haircut.


I think this article thought provoking. I think that the man had a little on a right to be mad but he should have treated him fairly.
