7 Causes to Support this Giving Tuesday!

If you did not already know, every time you make a purchase of any Kyra's Shea Medleys beauty product, you are giving back to local nonprofits in need. Since we first started our business back in September 2013, KSM has donated over 6,000 Medleys, thousands of dollars, and volunteered our services for many organizations in the USA that you have chosen. We have supported causes from ending homelessness, breast cancer awareness, women empowerment, youth leadership and development, and so much more.

There is a lot going on this week from Thanksgiving to Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, but please do not forget Giving Tuesday. We have compiled a list of seven nonprofit organizations and causes that you can support with your KSM purchases this week. Here are two ways to have your purchases count:

1) Referral Link: Below is the referral link for each org that is connected to their complimentary KSM SHEA-Bassador account. All you have to do is copy and paste their referral link into your browser and shop as normal (you can still use your Black Friday discount code as well). For every purchase made on a referral link, the org will receive a percentage of the proceeds of the sale directly.

2) Triple Donations: For any purchase you make on Giving Tuesday (December 1, 2020), we will TRIPLE the donations. For example, if you order one 4 oz Oil Medley, instead of donating 2 Medleys, we will donate x3 = 6 Medleys!

You're done. You get your favorite beauty products and you help someone in need as well. Here are the seven orgs (in no particular order):

1) Conscious Kids Library

Remember to look for this jar sign on your Medleys to see how much you are contributing -OR- check out the "Medleys Purchased = Medleys Donated" section of our KSM Gives Back page at https://kyrashea.com/pages/ksmgivesback.  Also, if you have not done so before, you can nominate a local nonprofit to receive a monetary or in-kind donation of our natural Medleys. Thank you so much again for helping us give back!
