The Professional Beauty Association (PBA) began its Disaster Relief Fund in 1955, and since then has helped salons, spas and beauty professionals to recover and rebuild after devastation caused by natural disasters.

Now, the PBA is reaching out to beauty professionals and companies to contribute to the PBA Disaster Relief Fund so it can help those affected by tornadoes and related storms in Oklahoma and other parts of the Midwest this year. The money collected will be used to help rebuild careers, businesses and lives.

“While there are many great organizations to contribute to in times of tragedy, the PBA Disaster Relief Fund is the only one that provides assistance to fellow beauty professionals and directly supports those in our industry in rebuilding their lives after a natural disaster,” states Steve Sleeper, executive director of the Professional Beauty Association
