Neutrogena Wave for Change Donates $258K

Neutrogena has announced the successful conclusion of its second annual Wave for Change Campaign, a charitable program that makes it easy for teens everywhere to give back, both in the U.S. and other parts of the world.

This year’s program generated a total of $258,000 that will be put to good use helping give kids an 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 Neutrogena.com/waveforchange.

Teens were given the opportunity to make change happen by learning about and voting for their favorite GlobalGiving 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).

Neutrogena Wave for Change also announced that an additional donation will be made to Global Giving and split equally among the six runner-up causes as a token of appreciation for their participation and in honor of the inspiring work they undertake every day. 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).
