Yahoo News If You Are Beauty-Obsessed and Want to Support Health Care Workers, Here’s How
More than 40 beauty and wellness brand leaders have come together to form BeautyUnited, a grassroots coalition that focuses on fundraising and donations for frontline health care workers during COVID-19.
Celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow, Drew Barrymore, and Victoria Beckham are featured in a campaign video for the coalition.
This time last year, I was probably concerned with a huge zit on my face or which of my favorite beauty products were running low, but leave it to a global pandemic to put everything into perspective. Now, in light of the chaos that is our current world, my same favorite beauty brands are joining together in support of what really matters: providing our frontline health care workers with the funds and supplies they need to fight COVID-19.
More than 40 beauty and wellness brand leaders have come together to form BeautyUnited, a grassroots coalition focused on both fundraising for the Frontline Responders Fund (whose ultimate goal is $10 million) and coordinating donations of personal care supplies to the workers risking their own health to help others.
The group is led by BeautyCon cofounder and CEO Moj Mahdara, who stated in a press release, “I stand in solidarity with beauty and wellness founders to mobilize the resources we have to support doctors, nurses, and all the health care workers on the front lines of this pandemic. We are resolved to support in collective actions that can have a big global impact. Now is the time to be UNITED.”
To further raise awareness and funds, BeautyUnited has launched a campaign video featuring all of your favorite beauty influencers and leaders, urging anyone who can donate to the doctors, nurses, first responders, and all other health care workers:
