For Community Partners
Our Story:
I’m Cecilia Knox, owner of Art of Cecilia Hair Gallery and co-founder of CrownKids Healthy Hair Care. With over 20 years in cosmetology, I’ve spent the last nine years working directly with foster and adoptive youth, inspired by my son Marquez, whom we adopted in 2019 after fostering him from one month old. His journey inspired this mission: to affirm identity, build confidence, and support families through inclusive hair care and education.
​
Our Nonprofit Partner:
To ensure full eligibility for tax-deductible donations and corporate sponsorships, this event is hosted in collaboration with Preventive HealthCare Services (PHCS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Columbus, Ohio. PHCS has over 18 years of experience serving underserved families through preventive care, youth outreach, and wellness programs.
​
Together, we can uplift and empower local youth as they return to school feeling loved, prepared, and proud of who they are. I’d be honored to speak with you directly about how you or your organization can get involved.

With gratitude,
Cecilia Knox
Owner, Art of Cecilia Hair Gallery
