In its sixth year of partnership with Girls Inc., Allergan Aesthetics will be joined by SkinSpirit in their efforts to inspire girls to be strong, smart and bold and explore career paths in STEM. In its first year of participation, SkinSpirit will kick off the campaign with a $5,000 donation from SkinSpirit Gives, the company's philanthropic arm. In addition, SkinSpirit will be inviting their clients to make a donation of their own from November 1 through November 15, with 100 percent of the funds raised going directly to Girls Inc. to support STEM programming, mentorship, and related career exploration to the 114,000+ girls in 350 cities and 75 affiliates nationwide. "We are thrilled SkinSpirit is joining us to deliver additional contributions to Girls Inc.," says Carrie Strom, president, Global Allergan Aesthetics and senior vice president, AbbVie. "Girls Inc. Is an important part of our philanthropic efforts to empower girls to pursue careers in STEM and SkinSpirit is a terrific customer and advocate for the next generation of women leaders."
This initiative will be promoted through social media, in-clinic signage with QR codes, and media coverage highlighting Lynn's journey from engineering and tech to CEO. All funds raised during the campaign will support STEM programming that Girls Inc. provides, helping young women develop the skills, confidence, and leadership abilities necessary to pursue careers in these fields.
