Fundraiser at Totally Tan & Synergy Salon

Earlier this year, Totally Tan & Synergy Salon, a full-service salon located at 400 N. Main St., Moscow, opened on Sunday to host a fundraiser in memory of a little girl named Savana Sciulara, who passed away from leukemia back in December of 2008. The event was organized by Kelly Davies, an employee of the salon who also happens to be the owner's daughter. All of the proceeds from manicures and pedicures that were performed on this day were donated directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, whose mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Below are photos from the fundraiser.
