April fundraiser for my friend’s Mom
Monday, April 6th, 2009Last month I became an independent beauty consultant for Mary Kay. Mainly I became a consultant to get the products at cost for when I need to replenish, to get them for my friends who use MK without having the awkward middle-man interaction and possibly to make some extra cash.
Well, shortly after I started my business, I learned that the mother of a longtime friend of mine, Lindsay, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and was going to undergo treatment. I wanted to help since I pretty much grew up with Lindsay and her family.
So, for the month of April, 20% of my total Mary Kay sales will be going to Lindsay’s family to help pay for costs of her mom’s treatment. The remainder of the profit will go towards shipping for the products and whatever’s left after that will go towards my physical therapy for my running injury.
If you’d like to help, you can visit my Mary Kay website at www.marykay.com/chimes. Even if you don’t normally wear makeup, there are plenty of pampering products on the site that are a lot of fun to use. If you have any questions about a specific product, you can contact me at chimes@marykay.com.
Here’s the flyer for the event.
There is a silent auction fundraiser for her on April 23rd that I can’t make but I’m going to be donating a hand-painted turquoise fiestaware teacup and saucer set with a tea wallet made by my friend, Danielle. My friend Adria is going to be donating a quilt she made as well.
I’m hoping to do a fundraiser every few months with my MK business. If anybody has any suggestions for charities to do in the future, shoot me a message.
