SYRACUSE —  Syracuse Elementary School’s student lunch fund was the recipient of a donation from Babes & Combs Beauty Salon, 101 E. Main St., Wawasee Plaza.

In honor of its fifth anniversary, the owner and staff of the salon wanted to give back to the community. It raised $1,285 to pay for delinquent lunch accounts.

The salon raffled off $600 in beauty service gift certificates and $200 in gift certificates to its new addition, which is rich Gallery, a private tattoo studio located in the salon’s old bank vault. The location was formerly the State Bank of Syracuse and Key Bank.

Many customers and members of the public supported the cause.
