In 2013 the botanical beauty brand is committed to raising $5 million for clean water and Hollywood's very own Truu Salon is stepping up to support the effort alongside thousands of other Aveda locations around the world.
Truu Salon has set a fundraising goal of $1500 and will host events throughout April. Most notably, Truu Salon will participate in a global 24-hour cut-a-thon on Earth Day, April 22. Aveda stylists in salons worldwide - from Tokyo, to Sydney, Moscow, London, New York and Minneapolis - will volunteer their time to offer haircuts in return for a donation to Earth Month, a simple and beautiful way for their guests to actively care for the environment.
In addition to raising money for clean water, Aveda salons will jointly attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the most money raised for a charity by haircuts in a 24-hour period.
Aveda professionals in more than 30 countries have collectively raised more than $26 million for in support of Earth Month since the campaign's inception in 1999. Beginning in 2007, Aveda has donated Earth Month proceeds to organizations working to combat the clean water crisis - to date more than $20 million have been directed to support hundreds of clean water projects on six continents. Funds raised by Truu Salon will benefit The Everglades Foundation - a local charity that is dedicated to protecting and restoring America's Everglades.
This unique ecosystem provides economic, recreational and life-sustaining benefits to the millions of people in Florida who depend on its future health. Through the advancement of scientifically sound and achievable solutions, the Foundation seeks to reverse the damage inflicted on the ecosystem and provide policymakers and the public with an honest and credible resource to help guide decision-making on complex restoration issues.
"We believe that good business is responsible business," says Erika Alexander, Truu Salon's manager. "It is so gratifying to participate in a program like Aveda Earth Month that allows us to participate in a global initiative that directly benefits the community where we live and work."
"Social responsibility has been a pillar of the Aveda ethos since the brand's founding in 1978," says Jennifer Cummings "Aveda professionals are living proof that beauty and environment are inextricably connected - their Earth Month achievements are truly remarkable."
