Each April, we celebrate Earth Month by raising money for local and global non-profit organizations that better our planet and communities.
This year, our fundraising efforts include various events and opportunities for donation. The Institute of Beauty and Wellness will be hosting a Catwalk for Clean Water with all proceeds going to The Urban Ecology Center and Charity: Water. We will also be supporting these foundations by taking donations, roundups, and offering fun spin-to-win opportunities for all guests in-store.
The Institutes of Beauty and Wellness annually celebrate Earth Month with two evenings of stunning, sustainable fashion designed by the industry’s best up-and-coming beauty professionals, with all proceeds from ticket sales benefiting clean water around the globe.
Visit us to donate $5 to The Urban Ecology Center, spin our giant wheel, and win a fabulous prize. Every spin is a win! This year, we’re featuring prizes listed below:
The Urban Ecology Center connects people in cities to nature and each other. The three locations are open to the public and serve people of all ages and income levels across Milwaukee. Each year on average 200,000 people visit the Urban Ecology Center’s branches and parks for summer camps, environmental education programs, community science opportunities, and land stewardship activities.
Their vision is to “inspire generations to build environmental curiosity, understanding, and respect. We restore hope and heal our urban natural world, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Today, the Urban Ecology Center has two additional locations in Milwaukee: one in Washington Park to serve communities and schools on Milwaukee’s west side and one in the Menomonee Valley on Milwaukee’s south side. We are a vibrant and growing organization, serving 77,000+ people each year and protecting and restoring urban green spaces in Milwaukee.
Charity:Water is a nonprofit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. 785 million people live without clean water. That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide, or, twice the population of the United States without access to life’s most basic human need. The majority live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep kids out of school and take up time that parents could be used to earn money, but the water often carries diseases that make them sick.
When a community gets access to clean water, it can change just about everything. It can improve health, increase access to food, grow local economies, and help kids spend more time in school.
The water crisis is huge, but it is solvable.
