Paul Halvatzis, a notable Queens-based businessman, has accepted a challenge from his children, including his autistic son, to shave his 35 year old mustache off to benefit those living with autism.
Halvatzis, a civic leader in Astoria, has been a board member of the Astoria Civic Association for over 20 years, past president of the Astoria/LIC Kiwanis Club for 25 years, and a board member of the 30th Ave. Merchants Association. He also serves as Vice President on the Board of Directors of Quality Services for the Autism Community (QSAC).
The momentous occasion will take place at the Redken Saloon Salon located at 36-16 30th Avenue Astoria, NY 11101, on Friday, December 30, 2011 at 6pm. The location is directly across from our Astoria QSAC facility which, will be simultaneously running our after school program. The public is invited to attend and, as this is a fundraiser, people are being asked to make contributions in honor of the statement Paul Halvatzis is making by shaving his mustache. Donations can be made at the event or by going to www.qsac.com/shave.
"Paul has had his mustache longer than QSAC has been in existence,” said Gary Maffei, QSAC Executive Director. “We are thrilled to be working with him on this innovative fundraiser to bring much needed resources that will both improve and expand our services to those most in need across New York and Long Island."
