SKINWERX HAS SPREAD THE LOVE LOCALLY IN 2021 , donating thousands of dollars in gift cards and products to a few different organizations in the area surrounding Dallas , Texas . One of those organizations is Mansfield Cares , which works within the Mansfield community , located near the Dallas / Ft . Worth area . Mansfield Cares is the top fundraiser for charitable organizations and programs in the city , raising more than $ 150,000 each year that help feed , clothe and educate children in need , while also providing assistance to their families .

The company also extended support to the Cook Children ’ s Hospital — which conducts leading-edge clinical research in addition to providing care for children with a wide range of healthcare needs — through their fundraising events . Skinwerx Founder Lisa Moody also shares that another event near and dear to her heart will take place before the year is out : “ We are planning on doing our Police Appreciation event again , giving out thousands of donated contributions to local police — most from the force ’ s child trafficking division .” The event — held onsite at the decked-out Skinwerx facility in Arlington — was a big success in 2020 , and Moody can ’ t wait to do it again in 2021 .

LIKE MANY OF ISPA ’ S RESOURCE PARTNER MEMBERS , helping others is a part of Pevonia Natural Skincare ’ s DNA , but the need created by the COVID-19 pandemic took those efforts to a new level .“ While giving back has always been a part of Pevonia ’ s mission , we did increase donations of skin care products to local charities , hospitals and other organizations that were hit hard by the pandemic ,” says Global Vice President of Marketing & Communications Maritza Rodriguez .“ We felt it was our duty to support the local community in any way that we could , and we will continue to do our part to create positive change .”

To that end , the company donated products for hospital and health care workers through the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties , and partnered with Florida ’ s Hometown USA Program to make similar donations to area women ’ s and homeless shelters . Team members also participated in the 2021 International Coastal Cleanup , spending time picking up trash and other debris from nearby Daytona Beach . A little further from home , Pevonia contributed to the building of wells in African communities with limited water resources via financial contributions to charity : water .
