ment of young talents in the hospitality industry. At the dinner, Brendan

COLOUR FOR LIFE
Initiated
by L’Oreal Professionnel in 2002 for The Malaysian
Aids Foundation (MAF), Colour For Life is a nationwide
fundraising campaign to give hope and assist children
living with HIV. L’Oreal Professionnel took an innovative
approach in 2013 to raise funds by collaborating with 5
renowned designers such as
Datuk Professor (Dr) Jimmy
Choo Yeang Keat OBE, Royal
Selangor, Eric Choong, and 26
other renowned personalities.
This noble campaign ended
with a 2 day charity hair cut
drive by L’Oreal Profession-
nel’s partner salons and in
total amassed RM100,000 for
the children living or affected
by HIV.
This year, L’Oreal Profes-
sionnel with, The Malaysian
AIDS Foundation as the host,
organized a Colour For Life
Reunited to revisit and cel-
ebrate this wonderful partner-
ship by bringing together the
Colour For Life celebrated
personalities, salon partners
and the children who are
beneficiaries of this campaign.
