I just received this fabulous bracelet from Avon. It is the Woman's Empowerment Bracelet and it's purpose is to help raise funds to stop the violence against women around the world.
Avon, along with their Global Ambassador, Reese Witherspoon, and UNIFEM are trying to raise funds to help bring awareness to this global problem. The bracelets will sell for $3 each and all net profits will be donated to the Avon Empowerment Fund. I
n 2008, the Avon Foundation will match the first $500,000 in bracelet sales for a total donation of $1 million for new grant-making by the UN Trust Fund.
"One out of every three women in the world is affected by domestic violence. I am proud to be a part of this Summit, and I support Avon and UNIFEM wholeheartedly in their efforts to put an end to this global epidemic, and as honorary chair of the Avon Foundation, I'm also very excited to introduce the Avon Women's Empowerment Bracelet." ~ Reese Witherspoon
So, do you have yours? If not, get one! It is a simple way to help other women around the world.
Need an idea of who to buy them for: Your mother, you sister, your friends, YOUR BRIDESMAIDS!!!
Contact your local Avon representative, or go directly to the AVON website.
