We are getting closer and closer to our $450,000 goal - only about $125,000 to go! Gosh, it is so exciting and it feels so good to know how many lives we are touching….but we have more lives to touch, right?
We just came off an awesome New York trip promotion…well, keep spreading the news. Spread the news about W.H.O. at every spa, health fair or booths, when you are having lunch with your friends, send reminders to your clients…just keep talking.
Fundraising…. it is so amazing how many Consultants are participating in the W.H.O. Pledge Program (over 9,500 now!) and it keeps growing, plus, all the great Directors that are participating in the W.H.O. Director Commission Deduction program. And I know in every city where there is a team rally or BeautiControl event W.H.O. is being nicely represented, and that feels so good.
With spring in the air, I know many of us are doing some extra house cleaning. Tammy Clary shared a great idea and that is “New to You for W.H.O.”. I happen to love purses and noticed I had a few too many! So I packed them up and took them to my team rally and sold them for W.H.O. It was simple, they went fast, we made money for W.H.O. and I had space in my closet to go buy some more!
Remember someone special with a W.H.O. postcard for Mother’s Day (or any occasion). Send your card electronically with your own message or request a paper copy and your recipient will get the card of your choice with a note stating you have made a donation in their honor. Simply go to W.H.O. on BeautiNet and click “Online Giving” and complete the form.
Another idea to share… As you all know, we have an over-the-top fabulous Mother’s Day sale going on
right now. How about taking advantage of this great sale? With the spa sets you order, put together a simple Mother’s Day spa basket for every spa you do up until Mother’s Day. It could just be as simple as one product with fillers or a product in a cute gift bag. Talk to your spa guests about the W.H.O. Foundation and let them know you are selling raffle tickets at their spa that night and someone is going home with a gift for their mother or friend.
Though we have already touched thousands of women and children and we have put hope in their hearts and a smile on their face, there are still so many who are struggling. So we need to continue to spread the word about W.H.O. and just ask…just like we ask for a booking, sale or recruit. It’s just what we do.
I want to say thank you to everyone that continues to share the word about the W.H.O. Foundation and those who continue to raise funds with so many creative ideas. Thank you for all you do!
I was looking back at a past speech I wrote and I wanted to share…HEART
H is for helping others
E is for every dollar that brings hope to a mother and child
A is to be aware of the needs of others and what we can do to help
R is for raising the bar, raising expectations and raising hope
T is for together we can make it happen
Thanks for being the Heart of BeautiControl and the heart of W.H.O.

If you volunteer for a charity in your community…..PLEASE REMEMBER TO SUBMIT A VOLUNTEER SERVICE GRANT APPLICATION on their behalf!!! The deadline to receive your applications in our office is May 21st. Just imagine how incredible it would be to be onstage at Celebration – receiving funds to take home to the organization where you volunteer your time. It’s obvious Katherine Burgess and Kathy Thompson were excited with this news at Leadership!! The grant they received has been used to purchase a van for the Huntsville Inner City Learning Center and because of the van, they can now provide transportation to SO many more children that need their help. This could be you!!
What are you waiting for?!
