AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – People in Augusta came together on Sunday to support a woman fighting cancer.
Salon Vintage on Mike Padgett Highway held ‘Cuts for Courtney’ Sunday morning.
All the money raised from the event went to her travel expenses.
Other local businesses were able to help with the fundraising, and there was even a raffle.
She is fighting a rare cancer and is going to get treatment in Houston.
Courtney’s wife and Salon Vintage’s owner says the support for Courtney has been great.
“We decided that we wanted to do this because Courtney’s been a longtime client of ours, and so has Ashley in our salon, and she is battling cancer right now. So we wanted to give back to her, be able to bring the community in and have some people come out and support her,” said Angela Olivares, owner of Salon Vintage. “The support has meant so much more than just lifting the financial burden of her treatment. Just having the community show up for her and have something to look forward to and all the people that love her gather around to show their support. It’s just been really good for her spirits and our spirits.”
