Join Neutrogena's Wave for Change and Help Raise up to $200,000 for Disaster Relief, Education and Environmental Charities

LOS ANGELES, July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Understanding teens' determination and passion for change, Neutrogena, the #1 dermatologist-recommended skin care brand, is launching Wave for Change, a charitable campaign that makes it easy for teens everywhere to not only give back, but to choose how Neutrogena will support communities in need.

This summer, starting on July 17th through August 23rd, Neutrogena will donate $1 for every Wave® Sonic Power-Cleaner and Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit product sold, up to $200,000 to GlobalGiving. GlobalGiving, an organization that links donors to great causes, will then distribute the funds to environmental, educational and disaster relief charities.  

"Often people want to participate but they don't know how so the fact Neutrogena is opening the door and kids are getting to be a part of something and help the world is an amazing thing to be a part of," commented Neutrogena Brand Ambassador Hayden Panettiere. "You think I am just one person, I can't make a change, but when you actually try and see results it is a pretty incredible feeling," said Panettiere. 

Neutrogena is putting the power into the hands of teens to determine how much of the $200,000 will be distributed to each cause- environment, education and disaster relief. By visiting the Neutrogena Facebook Page [http://www.facebook.com/neutrogena] teens can take a customized quiz which determines the type of cause they would most likely support and will help determine what percentage of the funding will be donated to each cause.

With Neutrogena's Wave for Change, teens can make a huge impact before they head back to school.  To stay connected with the cause, they will be able to visit the Facebook page and get real-time results on the support of each cause as well as view the quiz results of Neutrogena celebrity brand ambassadors Emma Roberts, Gabrielle Union, Hayden Panettiere, Miranda Cosgrove, Susie Castillo, and Vanessa Hudgens.
