On May 31, 2025, Beauty Changes Lives will host our annual fundraising gala in Orlando, FL, alongside the Premiere Beauty Show. This gala is a vital event that raises funds for our organization’s programs including scholarships, mentorship, and career-shaping experiences for individuals pursuing careers in esthetics, nail technology, barbering, and cosmetology.

Beauty Changes Lives is committed to empowering the next generation of professionals by breaking down barriers to education and creating opportunities for success. Through resources and connections, we help aspiring talent in our industry unlock their potential and build meaningful, fulfilling careers.

We hope that you will consider supporting our mission as a sponsor and join us in Orlando next May!
