Summit and the University of Washington Come Together to Fight Breast Cancer

Summit Salon Academy Tacoma owners Michael and Karen Shea visited the University of Washington School of Medicine to present the funds we raised at 2018’s Hair BRA-Zaar event in conjunction with the Wings of Karen Foundation. The check was given to Dr. Nora Disis, an esteemed professor in the oncology division of the university and recipient of the Helen B. Slonaker Endowed Professorship for Cancer Research.

Michael and Karen were invited to tour the oncology lab and see where all of the cancer research happens. It was an incredible opportunity to see such brilliant minds and huge hearts at work. At Summit, we’re always looking for ways to give back. We hope that we can continue to work with UW Medicine in the future and help with the fight against breast cancer!

“We’re proud of our students and staff for the contributions they’ve made in the efforts to find a cure for breast cancer!” Karen says. “We’re proud to be warriors in this fight with Wings of Karen.”

The 2019 Hair BRA-Zaar event is on June 5th. Check out last year’s post to see what it’s all about!
