When You Protect Water, You Protect What You Love

Water quality and clean water in New York and New Jersey is an issue that COA has worked to protect and improve on since 1985. For the past eight years, COA has been able to make an impact on global water resources through our partnership with Aveda. Every April, participating Aveda salons, spas, institutes, and retail center raise funds and awareness for clean water at the local and global level.

Since 1999, Aveda has raised over $38 million globally and $32 million for clean water projects worldwide. These funds help support programs such as water quality projects, COA’s education programs, coastal cleanups such as the Beach Sweeps, and much more. Aveda also partners with Global Greengrants Fund to provide grants for community-based water projects in more than 40 countries. Help make a difference and support clean water initiatives by visiting a participating salon near you, attending an event, or making a donation.

Celebrate Earth Day with COA and Aveda

COA has been chosen as an Aveda partner in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Eastern Pennsylvania for their Earth Month 2013 campaign. During Earth Month, funds are raised independently by thousands of Aveda salons, spas and institutes as they participate in exciting events that include fashion shows, cut-a-thons, Walks for Water, product raffles, and much more. What began as a day of awareness in 1999 became $26 million raised for the Earth, $20 million of which was raised for clean water projects. Aveda will also partner with Global Greengrants Fund to provide grants for community-based water projects in more than 40 countries.
