EWING, NJ - For the sixth consecutive year, amidst a belt-tightening recession, Paul Mitchell Schools spent the months of February, March, and April raising money for their annual Magic of Memories campaign. Future Professionals and Learning Leaders from the nationwide network held a variety of fundraising events for seven selected charities, raising a total of $939,906. The Lab Paul Mitchell Partner School in Ewing, New Jersey raised $8,200 for the annual event.
The annual fundraiser culminated in a gala dinner event at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach, California, on April 25, 2009. The celebration was hosted by celebrities and representatives from the chosen organizations: radio and TV personality Leeza Gibbons, Paul Mitchell CEO/Cofounder John Paul DeJoria, Paul Mitchell Co-owner Angus Mitchell, actress and cancer prevention crusader Fran Drescher, and CNN’s Larry King and wife/chairperson Shawn King of the Larry King Cardiac Foundation.

“Helping to put an end to pancreatic cancer means even more this year with it being 20 years of my father’s memorial.” - Angus Mitchell
One of the evening’s highlights included a remembrance by Angus Mitchell and John Paul DeJoria of JPMS Cofounder Paul Mitchell, who died 20 years ago of pancreatic cancer. “It nearly brings me to tears just knowing how much effort was put into raising money to make a difference,” Angus Mitchell said. “Helping to put an end to pancreatic cancer means even more this year with it being 20 years of my father’s memorial. The gift in life is how much time we have and the value is what we do with it. At the Magic of Memories dinner, it was really inspiring to be among people who are heartfelt in the foundations they support or created.”
“Our Future Professionals are truly exceptional, refusing
to go along with the news of a recession and instead following their own hearts for the good of our planet
and its living souls.” - John Paul DeJoria
“Participating with our Paul Mitchell Schools’ Future Professionals, educators, and partners to change the world helps leave a footprint not only in the world of those we help, but in our own history,” said John Paul DeJoria. “Our Future Professionals are truly exceptional, refusing to go along with the news of a recession and instead following their own hearts for the good of our planet and its living souls.”
