Earth Month

 

Every year during the entire month of April, Aveda celebrates Earth Month. This year, we’re raising money and awareness to support water related projects like those enjoyed – and illustrated – by kids in Madagascar. Aveda celebrates the network’s grassroots fundraising efforts that have raised more then $20M to protect and maintain clean water around the world. With more than 45 local water partners, 7,000 Aveda locations, 35,000 professionals and millions of guests, we can help achieve this year’s Aveda $5M- goal. Worldwide, nearly one out of every five deaths under the age of five is due to a water-related disease. By investing in clean water alone, young children around the world can gain more than 413 million days of health!
    
    Earth Month is one of Spa Bleu’s favorite time of the year! On April 21st we will be hosting our annual Earth Month Walk/Run. Our course will be the distance that it takes for citizens of Madagascar to access clean water. Registration starts at 8am at our West Dundee location. Join the Spa Bleu team as we walk to make a change!
