January 19, 2009 (Santee) — Sport Clips, providers of "championship haircuts" for men and boys in a sports-themed environment, announced today a Cut-A-Thon at their new Santee-area store to benefit the local Boys & Girls Club.

Customers that donate $5 to the organization on either Saturday, January 24 from 9 to 6 p.m. or Sunday, January 25 from 10 to 5 p.m. will receive a free "MVP" haircut.

"We're ecstatic that Sport Clips selected our organization to help raise much-needed funds," said Lesa Mitchell, Director of Development for the Boys & Girls Clubs of East County. "It's admirable that a new company in the community is already making a noticeable impact to help support our programs."

Sport Clips offers a variety of "line up" options, but their MVP haircut is the top of the line service which includes a precision haircut, relaxing shampoo with an invigorating scalp massage, steamed towel and leave-in conditioner as well as a neck and shoulder massage. Customers can also watch sports while getting their hair cut. 

"The Boys & Girls Club is an extraordinary organization  that provides recreational, cultural and physical education programs for children,"explained Terry Klinker, owner of Santee Sport Clips.  "The money raised will help with a lot of the expenses they endure that membership costs don't cover. Not only are we able to help provide them with resources that will allow them to continue to be a high caliber organization, but this is a great opportunity for Sport Clips to give back and to celebrate the grand opening of our new location."
