Hela Salon & Spa hosted the official launch party announcing the partnership of Shoot for Change + the Capital Breast Care Center on Wednesday. The partnership, named the Gift of Life Project, is working together to provide mammograms and breast cancer treatment for women regardless of their ability to pay. Held in the intimate setting of the Hela foyer, champagne and macaroons and chocolates were served as guests mingled and looked through the various ways to donate to this amazing cause.
