A Bonners Ferry girl now living in Post Falls
while attending cosmetology school in Spokane
has a once in a lifetime opportunity, but she
needs her hometown to help make her dream come
true.
Casey Solt, the daughter of John and Laura Solt
and a 2005 graduate of Bonners Ferry High
School, is taking part in Paul Mitchell School's
"FUNraising" event, which kicked off February 1
and concludes February 6, in which the first 100
students in 104 Paul Mitchell Schools nationwide
to raise $3,000 will win the trip of a lifetime.
"As you know, I'm extremely passionate about my
school and my future as a professional
cosmetologist," Casey said. "Paul Mitchell has
changed my life for the better already and there
are still many more opportunities to come. A
huge part of the Paul Mitchell culture is giving
back."
This year all proceeds raised through the "FUNraising"
event will go to Children's Miracle Network, No
Limits, the Andrew Gomez Foundation, ELSA, the
Gary Sinise Foundation, CAST (Coalition to
Abolish Slavery & Trafficking), Food for Africa,
Cancer Schmancer (Fran Drescher's organization
against cancer), the Morris Animal Foundation
(Betty White's organization), Wells of Hope, and
Casey's favorite, Blessings Under the Bridge.
"This is a non profit organization that the Paul
Mitchell the School Spokane works with very
often," she said. "They take hot meals, clothes
and entertainment to our homeless, as well as
haircuts that we students do."
This year, the school is offering an opportunity
to the first 100 people in the School systems to
raise $3,000. These 100 people earn round trip
flights to Los Angeles, two nights hotel stay,
tickets to the Paul Mitchell FUNraising Gala,
where winners will spend the day with Betty
White, Gary Sinise, Fran Drescher, John Paul
Dejorio, Winn Claybaughn and more.
"I will also get a full day of hands-on
education from some of the best in the business
at the Beverly Hilton Hotel if I win," she said.
Time is of the essence; 50 of the 100 spots are
already taken and it's only been three days.
