The “getting ready for the school year” events from this past week included Saturday’s (Aug 3rd) DK2’s Fourth Annual 100 Free Haircuts event at the Boys and Girls Club of Danville. As Darrin Hightower reminded us, this is in memory of his cousin Derric Hightower, Jr; who passed away in 2019. There is also a full tuition scholarship in Derric’s name, awarded every year to a Schlarman Academy kindergarten student. Darrin says, they’re hoping to keep this new school year haircuts tradition going.
