Below is a list of local businesses that are supporting Domestic Violence and Breast Cancer awareness this month. If you know something that should be added to this list, please email me at alisonw@macaronikid.com.
Michelle Seibert, Avon
Avon is showcasing several products, including jewelry and a Christmas ornament, that you can purchase and have proceeds go toward Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence initiatives. You can view a full list of products by visiting Michelle's Avon website and typing in Breast Cancer or Domestic Violence in the search box. You can also view specials on her facebook page.
Michelle will include a special gift to anyone who purchases a breast cancer product during October. 
Cynthia Coakley, Independent Beauty Consultant, Mary Kay
Cynthia shares some background on the founder of Mary Kay. Throughout her life, Mary Kay Ash showed others how to live and how to give. She gave hope to women who lacked opportunity, self-esteem and financial support. Now her legacy of love lives on through The Mary Kay Foundation, which she began in 1996.
Because Mary Kay, Inc. gives generously to the Mary Kay Foundation you make a difference when you support your Independent Beauty Consultant. You can browse Cynthia's online store here, and like her facebook page for other specials and updates throughout the month. You can also shop with your local consultant if you already have one.
One of the featured products is the Special Edition Beauty That Counts lipglosses with $1 from each purchase going to The Mary Kay Foundation.
Cynthia and other consultants will also be participating in a fundraiser at Texas Roadhouse in Palmyra on Thursday, Oct. 10 from 3-10 p.m. Download this flyer and present it that night and 10% of your purchase will go toward the Mary Kay Foundation.
