Giving Back Comes In Many Forms

February 28th, 2013

hearts3 love story 40x20

Giving back comes in many forms! February remains the month associated with love. Our CEO Ilana Goldstone paid a visit to her hairdresser as usual, however this time she felt like she needed a change and so she requested to have 5 inches cut off.  Her hairdresser found that to be quite drastic! But then Ilana had an even better idea and decided to donate 12 inches to a non-profit organization called LOCKS OF LOVE who use the hair to make wigs for children with cancer!   So you may do a double take, next time you see her!

IG_Locks_Of_Love

WHAT IS LOCKS OF LOVE?

Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics. Most of the children helped by Locks of Love have lost their hair due to a medical condition called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses we provide help to restore their self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.

The possibilities of how you can help people in need are virtually endless because how you spend your resources or time giving back is completely up to you. What other non-conventional ways have you giving back to help someone?

A Few Words From Backdrops Beautiful President

January 19th, 2012

It was a thrilling challenge and accomplishment launching Backdrops Beautiful less than 4 years ago. I myself was taken aback at the rate of growth in the first year alone. Luckily, I’m a “sporty” individual as I mastered jumping hurdles during these formative years!

We pride our company on both product and service, surpassing the expectation of our customers. We will go above and beyond creating the ultimate customer experience.

Our success has enabled us to reach out to the less fortunate and support various charitable organizations.  Giving back to the community and the military is a significant part of our company.  We have new ideas planned for 2012 and believe it is going to be an exciting year. That said, I wish everyone a Happy New Year, with only good health, joy and success in all your endeavors.
