151 Hair Company raises $1500 for breast cancer research

151 Hair Company owner, Judy Grooms (2nd from right), and staff hosted three fundraising events in October to raise funds for breast cancer research at Franciscan Skemp.  A successful chicken-Q, rummage sale and basket raffle netted a total of $1500 which was presented to Foundation Associate Director, Teri Wildt (far right) in December.  The energetic staff took on the fundraising project in recognition of their co-worker, Diane Sonnentag (far left) and several clients who are battling breast cancer.  This is the second time the team at 151 Hair Company, located in Center 90, Onalaska, has worked together to raise funds for cancer research at FSH.  We thank them for their generosity and hard work!
