Let Live Foundation

“On Sunday July 19th, Akemi Salon will be hosting a benefit for the Let Live Foundation. Stylists Suzzette Fasching, Augustus Bowman, Christian McNutt, and one more TBA will be donating their talents for a very worthwhile cause. From noon until eight p.m. the stylists will be performing haircuts for the benefit of the Let Live Foundation. For a suggested donation of $20 for women’s hair, and $10 for men’s hair, you can look as good as you’ll feel after spending time in the chair of some of Portland’s most talented stylists. Come treat yourself to a full salon service experience while donating money to a very worthwhile cause.

Augustus, Suzzette, and Christian are all stylists who feel very strongly about a vegan lifestyle, and welcomed the opportunity to pool their talents to raise money for the unexpected expenses incurred in putting on this years Let Live Conference. All the shampoo and hair products used at Akemi Salon is completely cruelty free.

We do ask that you make an appointment, although walk-ins will be serviced as time permits. Please schedule with your desired stylist in advanced to make sure you can be a part of what will surely be a great time for a great cause.

Thanks, and hope to see you on the 19th!!!!”

Wow, just today we’ve learned that two other rad vegan Portland businesses are throwing some love our way. 

This morning we heard from Aaron at Portobello:

“”From now until the conference, we will donate 10% of sales from Wednesday nights to the Let Live Foundation. Come on by and munch on vegan goodness whilst sipping a fine vegan wine! Reservations recommended.
Peace, Aaron”

and just got a text message from Lisa at Sweetpea:

“Hey, I’m posting online that we are donating half of our brunch sales to Let Live this week.”

Holy crap. Very touching to have such support from the community. Please go give these folks some money, and get full and happy.

This is simple. You come spend money at the Vegan Minimall (SE Stark and 12th), as you normally would (maybe a bit more) on June 13th. All day long. After the day is over, all the shops will donate a nice percentage of the day’s sales to the conference expenses. It should help quite a bit if they all have good sales that day. Scapegoat Tattoo is doing something special too. Very exciting. John, Ryan, and Henry will be doing $30 tattoos starting at noon. They are designing up a big sheet of animal rights / vegan related flash artwork for you to choose from. Just show up at noon, and take a number. First come, first served. Great, huh?

Tomorrow (6/4) is Sip’s one year anniversary! Congrats to Mr. Heck for making Portland a nicer place.

Go over tomorrow (in front of People’s Coop) and celebrate with a milkshake. Sip is going to donate 100% of the milkshake profits help fund the Let Live Conference. So… no excuses. Go freeze your brain and support a good cause.

Yo. Emiko and Rachael are going to be selling baked goods, iced tea, and ice cream sandwiches outside of Food Fight on Saturday starting at noon. All hard earned moneys will go to the Let Live Conference. Please come get some cookies and what nots.

Come hang out Sunday, April 12th and get your fill of sword swinging with a presentation of the classic film, “Conan the Barbarian”. There will be some kind of snack too. Money will help fund the conference, so… bring some pals, OK?

This is nice. Attica! Attica!, Camping Party, and Adam Brock are all gonna make some music and give their income to us to help us do stuff. Please come and hang out. And clap and tell the musicians thanks.  At the Red and Black Cafe, 400 SE 12th, right around the corner from the Vegan MiniMall. $5.

Time again for Food Fight’s benefit movie night. This time it’s gonna be extra special and fun. Sunday, January 11th is…FOOTLOOSE!
