Final Touch - Simcoe Hair Salon and Body Care - Fitness and Tanning

Final Touch has contributed and participated in a variety of community and charity events. We enjoy showing our support for causes we care about. Read on to find out about which events we have participated in...

At the Final Touch we are proud to be involved with the community and strive to help make a difference in many walks of life. Annually we participate in the CIBC Run For the Cure to help raise awareness and donations towards finding a cure for breast cancer. As a team of between 40-50 participants we aim to raise $10, 000 or more through pledges, online donations, and a fundraising barbeque. The past four consecutive years our ladies team has won the New Balance Women's Challenge award which is presented to the womens team that raises the most donations for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.  This is an honor which we are very proud to hold and a goal that we will aim for again this year. If you would like to join our team (womens or mens teams available) or make a donation please visit the link provided a the bottom of this page.

The Final Touch also participates annually in the Relay for Life, an all night event organized to raise money for cancer research, cancer patients, to spread awareness, to celebrate the lives of survivors, and to remember those who lost their lives to cancer. Participants walk all night and take part in different events provided at the relay. Our Family Hair Care team also takes part in the event by setting up a hair cutting station for those who would like to donate their hair. Our Fitness team usually starts this event off with a warm up session, provides a Zumba class in the middle of the night to help lift spirits and push participants on, and ends the event with a nice relaxing stretch.

For the first time The Final Touch was also involved with the Cancer Support Resource Program (CSRP) which is a volunteer run and non-profit organization set up to assist those in our community touched by cancer by providing education, resources, and support.  Our facility held a fitness event including yoga classes, zumba classes, and young at heart classes, as well as a prize table in which funds were raised to go towards this organization. This program is great in that all of the funds raised in this community, stay in this community and our team was very happy to lend a helping hand close to home.

The local Food Bank is another area that our team wanted to help in 2010. Both the Fitness Centre and Salon ran a food drive for over a month in which many clients and staff members were very generous in their donations.  Our food bins were overflowing and again it felt great to help out those in our community who were in need of daily necessities.

The Final Touch has participated in the Terry Fox Run for many years now as well.  Our Fitness Team usually provides a warm up session to help participants prepare for the race which raises money for cancer research in memory of Terry's marathon of hope.

March 8, 2011 The International Womens Day event was hosted by the Final Touch. A fun night filled with FREE classes to all women participating. From spinning classes and stability ball classes to Nia Dance and Yoga all classes were well attended and enjoyed! This was a great event to celebrate women and spread awareness about health and fitness.   Free snacks and refreshments, free gym use and classes, and great draw prizes including memberships at the Final Touch were a few of the other hi-lights of the night. We look forward to next year if given the opportunity to host this event again.
