To suport research, L’Oreal Paris is donating a dollar of every purchase from its Color of Hope Collection – a line of glosses, shadows, lipsticks and laquers – to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Check the products out at your local drugstore.

Tickets For Charity

As Laura Bresnahan of Charity Partners, Inc explains,
Tickets-for-Charity believes small incremental donations/actions can really add up to large positive change for charities and foundations. Here is a bit more about our organization:
Working directly with top performing artists from Brad Paisley and John Mayer to U2 and James Taylor & Carole King, Tickets-for-Charity (TFC) makes premium concert and theater seats available (at the same or better price you’ll find elsewhere) to support leading charitable causes. Here’s how it works:
· 100% of the ticket face value goes to the artist and tour
· 100% of the benefit of the donation amount goes directly to partner charities selected by artists and customers
· We proudly host both artists and partner charities on the TFC platform for free
· We keep our lights on by charging an industry-standard service fee
TFC offers artists a great way to engage fans with important causes while offering them access to some of the best seats on the house. We also give fans the opportunity to see some of the biggest names in entertainment while benefiting the causes they care about most. We work with a wide variety of charitable organizations that stretches across many different cause areas.
