Fiat Friday at FIGO Giveaway Contest

Fiat USA has teamed up with the renown FIGO hair and beauty salon in Birmingham, Michigan to support the charity Forgotten Harvest.

The mission of Forgotten Harvest is to relieve hunger in the Detroit metropolitan community by rescuing surplus, prepared and perishable food and donating it to emergency food providers. Read more about this worthy charity here at the Forgotten Harvest website.

FIGO is an award winning salon that is known for creating superb fashion and beauty designs for their clientèl.

FIGO (fee-go) is Italian for "great, cool, hip, the best" and really is the perfect adjective to also describe the Fiat 500.

Here is the FIGO website.
