Local Salon Partners with Cancer Resource Center for “Polished with Purpose” Campaign

Positively Beautiful Salon & More, located at 1090 Houlton Rd., Baileyville, ME 04694, is proud to announce the launch of “Polished with Purpose,” a year-round cancer awareness and fundraising campaign benefiting the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center.

This initiative combines beauty, self-care, and community impact by dedicating each month to a different cancer awareness color. Clients can participate by booking themed manicures and pedicures, with a portion of proceeds directly supporting individuals and families affected by cancer in the local community.

Throughout the year, the salon will feature awareness colors such as pink for breast cancer in October, gold for childhood cancer in September, and blue for colon cancer in March. Each service not only promotes awareness but also contributes to vital support services offered by the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center.

“We wanted to create something meaningful where our clients can feel good and do good at the same time,” said Carrie, owner of Positively Beautiful Salon & More. “This campaign allows us to use our creativity and platform to make a real difference in people’s lives.”

Funds raised will help the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center continue providing free services such as patient navigation, emotional support, transportation assistance, and wellness programs to cancer patients and their families across the region.

“We are incredibly grateful for partnerships like this,” said Angela Fochesato, Executive Director of the Beth C. Wright Cancer Resource Center. “Community-driven efforts like ‘Polished with Purpose’ help ensure that no one faces cancer alone.”

In addition to themed nail services, the salon will offer optional donation add-ons, awareness ribbon nail art, and special events throughout the year to further support the cause.

Community members are encouraged to participate by booking appointments, spreading awareness, and following Positively Beautiful Salon & More on social media for monthly updates and fundraising totals.
