50 States Tour stops in Richmond on August 12 for nationwide haircutting fundraiser

Patrick Lomantini raised nearly $1,000 for the Richmond SPCA in 2012 when he completed 50 haircuts in a day at Circle Square Salon

On August 12, join us for the third annual 50 States Tour with stylist Patrick Lomantini. Patrick and his team will return to Richmond on the 12th day of the tour and you can support homeless pets by having your hair cut. It’s that easy! For the past two years, Patrick has helped to raise thousands of dollars for homeless pets across the country, and we are delighted that he chose to pair with the Richmond SPCA again this year when he stops in Virginia.

This 12-hour cut-a-thon will return to Circle Square Salon located at 305 North Robinson Street, and you can participate by making your appointment today! Call Lisa Clarke, manager of community development at the Richmond SPCA, at 804-521-1318 to get an appointment between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Monday, August 12.

For $20, men and women will have a basic haircut by Lomantini and all haircut fees directly benefit the Richmond SPCA. Appointments will average 15 minutes. We are excited for another successful event and for the chance to raise $2,000 for the homeless pets in our care. We would like to thank the Doubletree by Hilton for generously donating a one-night stay and valet parking for Patrick and his team.
