BTSB - Behind The Scenes Benefits - For Stylists, by Stylists!

How does the fund work?

01

What is BTSB?

This fund is to help 4 local Stylists, selected at random, get much needed health/vision/dental benefits for one year. More common than not, salons are not able to offer benefits to their Stylists.  This is a very important issue and hits home with us.  We were sitting around the salon one day and thought.... why not fundraise to help other local Stylists who have the same issue?

02

Who can benefit from this fundraiser?

CALLING ALL STYLISTS!  We need Stylists to appy to be a recipient of the BTSB fund.  All Stylists, Barbers and salon professionals can apply for the benefit below in the next section.  Tell us a little bit about yourself and why you are applying.   4 Stylists will be selected at random and after the funds have been raised, a yearly allotment of funds will go directly towards their healthcare through an independent broker that we work with.

Thank you for your submission!

Because of the nature of the beauty industry, it is a little known fact that health insurance is often unobtainable to Stylists.  Whether it is too expensive for an individual on the Marketplace or too expensive for salons to offer to their Stylists, Behind The Scenes Benefits was created for those in the cosmetology industry in need of health insurance. 

Any Montgomery County Stylist may apply to receive this fund.  Our aim is to raise enough money to help at least 4 Stylists enroll in a full year's worth of benefits. We have partnered with an independent broker to supply a more affordable, customized policy to each of the beneficiaries where funds will be allocated directly.  Stylists, apply to be a fund recipient!

The Trevor Project

The Trevor Project is a non-profit organization focused on suicide prevention and crisis intervention for LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and questioning) young people. It was founded in 1998 by James Lecesne, Peggy Rajski, and Randy Stone in memory of Trevor Hailey, a young 13 year old boy who died by suicide after facing rejection and discrimination for his sexual orientation.

The Trevor Project provides a range of services to support LGBTQ+ youth in times of crisis. Some of the key services include:

  1. TrevorLifeline: A 24/7 crisis intervention and suicide prevention helpline for LGBTQ+ youth. Trained counselors are available to provide support and lend a listening ear.

  2. TrevorText and TrevorChat: Text and online chat services that offer confidential support for LGBTQ+ youth who may not be comfortable talking on the phone.

  3. TrevorSpace: An online social network community for LGBTQ+ youth, providing a safe space to connect, share experiences, and seek support.

  4. Trevor Education: The Trevor Project offers educational resources, training programs, and workshops to raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues, mental health, and suicide prevention.

  5. Research and Advocacy: The organization conducts research to better understand the mental health challenges faced by LGBTQ+ youth and advocates for policies and practices that promote inclusivity and support.

The Trevor Project aims to create a world where LGBTQ+ young people can live freely without fear of discrimination, rejection, or bullying. Their focus on suicide prevention is crucial, as LGBTQ+ youth can face higher rates of mental health challenges due to societal stigma and lack of acceptance.
