The Comp’s fourth annual ‘Cure-A-Thon’ is tak- ing place next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Haircuts, manicures, gourmet food and more will all be sold at the annual event, and this year if you spend $15 or more you qualify for a tax receipt. Hair services and manicures will be offered for a flat rate of $10, and 100 per cent of all proceeds raised will go to the CancerCare Manitoba Foun- dation in support of the Foundation’s breast cancer division. “We pick something different every year,” said hairstyling teacher Charlene Henrikson. Henrikson and her colleague Darlene Cockerill chose to support the CancerCare Manitoba Foun- dation this year, because cancer has continued to touch their lives, she said. “Personally with family and close friends both of us have been touched,” Henrikson said.
