Hello families of Pembroke. I wanted to let you know about a fundraiser my sons and I have put together. My boys Keith and Kory, 5- and 8-years-old, love to ride their bikes, skateboards and scooters. Because we don’t live on a cul-de-sac or have sidewalks on our street, we are required to load up the bikes and go to Marshfield’s or Hanson’s skate parks.

The town of Pembroke supports and has approved a skate park to be built next to the library but the funds have to be raised by us, the residents of Pembroke. To find out more about the park, visit pembrokeskatepark.com.

Much has been done privately and by the Friends of the Pembroke Skate Park, but to give our kids a top quality, safe place to ride, more is needed and I have been thinking of ways to help. At my son’s ages, it’s difficult for them to raise money alone, so I thought I would use what I know and hold a Salon cut-a-thon from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23, at the Personal Best Salon and Day Spa in Pembroke, 270 Washington St.

I have been a stylist at Personal Best Salon and Day Spa for 17 years. Me and four additional, talented stylists will be donating 100 percent of the proceeds of the salon’s cut-a-thon directly to the skate park construction fund. My boys and husband, Kent, will be helping out by collecting the money, sweeping up and selling tickets for some great items we will be raffling off that day. They are very excited to help out and get a little closer to building the park.

Haircuts will be $20 per person. Families of three or more will receive discounted haircuts of $15. To maximize our time, we will only be offering wet cuts. We are also offering a special price of $8 for our real-hair extensions that come in a great variety of fun colors.

How about getting a great new look for fall or a trim on your “back-to-school” haircut? Bring the kids, husbands, wives and yourself to our cut-a-thon. Tell all your friends. Surrounding towns will benefit from our park, too!

The salon can be reached at 781-826-3363. Just mention the skate park fundraiser. Space is limited so please call to reserve your appointment today. Look great and feel good about helping out a very good cause at the same time. We hope to see you there and thank you for your support.

Heather, Kent, Kory and Keith Lawson
