Drawing on the campaign's motto, "make change a reality," brand ambassadors Hayden Panettiere, Emma Roberts, Sandra Echeverria and Miranda Cosgrove have come together to inspire others to get involved and spread the word. "It means a lot to me to be part of Neutrogena Wave for Change because they are making it possible for kids across the country to have a brighter future and having a younger sibling know firsthand how important an education is for every child so they can be given the right start in life," said Brand Ambassador Emma Roberts. "This campaign makes it so easy for people to really make a difference."
Teens all over the country can show their support for the cause in two easy ways:
1. For every Wave for Change® video view on the Neutrogena® Wave for Change® website or Neutrogena's Facebook page, $1 will be donated to GlobalGiving to support U.S. educational organizations: Knowledge is Power Program, Para Los Ninos, and Education Through Music.
2. For each participating Neutrogena product purchased, another $1 will be donated to GlobalGiving. Simply visit Neutrogena® Wave for Change® website or Neutrogena's Facebook page to activate the purchased products with one simple click.
In addition to the online incentives, Brand Ambassador Emma Roberts has designed an exclusive Neutrogena® Wave for Change® tote bag in tandem with the philanthropic campaign. With the purchase of two Neutrogena® facial skin care products at Target®, customers will be gifted Emma's tote at check-out while supplies last.
Designed to give teens the power to make a difference by taking small actions, this year's emphasis on U.S. educational organizations, whether it's bringing better music or after school programs, is a special opportunity for teens everywhere to give back.
