Reese Witherspoon made a trip to Brazil to support Avon's message of female empowerment.
The company saw much success in it's first fund- raising attempt. If you are unaware of the campaign for female empowerment, here it is in a nutshell. The bracelet was created to raise awareness of the violence that affects women worldwide and the need to speak out against it. Avon said they would match the first $500,000 in sales and the money would be put into an account that will be contributed to the UNIFEM-managed U.N.Trust Fund to End Violence against Women.
The campaign has sold 1.5 million of the bracelets at 3 dollars a piece, since March of this year. WOW!
It''s a great cause, and even though she is getting paid to be the spokesperson, Reese is setting a wonderful example for her children. The fact they need to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
My husband's grandma sells Avon, I wonder why she didn't get me one of those bracelets. I'm going to have to call her.
