Spanish River High School Grads Raising Money for Victims of Domestic Violence

Boca Raton, FL – Bond Street Salon in the Pineapple Grove Arts District of Delray Beach, Florida is helping to nurture the local community through charitable giving. Among its charitable contributions in the community, Bond Street Salon is helping to beautify the lives of victims of domestic violence.  The women-owned Bond Street Salon has been donating a percentage of sales of hair treatments and cuts to support AVDA (Aide to Victims of Domestic Violence). To date, more than $700 has been raised and donated to AVDA.

“Victims of domestic violence suffer with self-esteem issues. At Bond Street Salon, we’re in the business of enhancing the outwardly appearance to complement a beautiful inner self.  Supporting AVDA was a natural fit,” says Bond Street Salon founder Lauren Donald and co-owner Marisa Guglielmo. Both Donald and Guglielmo have been pals since students at Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, Florida.
