Neutrogena recently completed its second annual Wave for Change™ Campaign, a charitable program that allows teens to give back, both in the U.S and other parts of the world. This year’s program generated $258,000 that will be used for children’s education, helping protect the environment and rebuilding lives.
Neutrogena donated $1 to Global Giving for every Neutrogena Acne, Cleansing or Cosmetics product sold and registered during July and August at the Neutrogena website. Teens were given the opportunity to make change happen by learning about and voting for their favorite Global Giving charities within three categories: Education, Environment and Disaster Recovery. This year, the three winning charities were: Arts for All: Art programs for 3,000 in-need New York children (Education), SALVEASERRA: Protect the Rainforest in Brazil (Environment) and the Greater New Orleans Foundation: Victims of the Tornadoes Fund (Disaster Relief).
The program will also give an additional donation to Global Giving and split equally among the six runner-up causes as a token of appreciation for their participation and in honor of their inspiring work, according the company. These organizations are Junior Achievement of Southern California and School on Wheels (Education), Friends of the Columbia Gorge and TanzSolar (Environment) and Save the Children in Haiti and Living Dreams’ Tohoku Kids Project in Japan (Disaster Relief).
