Throughout the month of April, Aveda salons across the Southeast have been busy raising money for the GRN. The funds raised will support our work to protect clean water. Please visit your local Aveda salon and thank them for their hard work and commitment to a healthy Gulf.

These are just a few photos from the hundreds of events that were held across the region:

Joe Murphy of the GRN joins staff from the Aveda Institute St. Petersburg, Florida for a beach clean up.

Staff from the W. Daly Salon and Spa in Newman, Georgia
donated their time for Cut-A-Thon. The event raised $2000 in just one day!

Jessica Netto of the GRN joins staff from the Avalon salon group in Dallas. Avalon salon held a crawfish boil and silent auction that raised over $5000 in one day!

Gary Lambert's Salon and Spa of Winter Park, Florida hosted a 'Brunch of Clean Water' and silent auction that raised over $6000 for the GRN.

Carol Lociano of Drew James Salon in Ft. Lauderdale, hosted a table at the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Science and Discovery's Earth Day event. They gave out blue water beads to children who committed to saving water by turning off the faucet as they wash their hands or brush their teeth.

This is the third year that Aveda distributors, the Neill Corporation and The Salon People and their salons have chosen the GRN as their Earth Month partner. We're honored that so many people are willing to donate their time and money for the GRN. Aveda is a unique company that not only talks about protecting our environment, but takes every step they can to live by their commitment.

Thanks Aveda!

Briana Kerstein is the Director of Organizational Development
