Briarwood Mall Sephora Employees Vote to Help Homeless Animals at HSHV

Following the launch of Values Inside Out, Sephora’s charitable platform that seeks to make communities across America more beautiful, Sephora’s Ann Arbor location in the Briarwood Mall, announced that the Humane Society of Huron Valley (HSHV) had been chosen to be the recipient of the donated funds.

The YOU + SEPHORA Cosmetic Collection was developed by Sephora to benefit non-profits across the country. This limited edition collection will be available now through the December 31, 2013, or while supplies last. The cosmetic collection retails for $20 and features a covetable clutch, glitter eye liner, lip gloss and nail polish. Sephora USA, Inc. will donate $13 for each bag sold at the Ann Arbor, Briarwood Mall location back to HSHV.

Mary Herald, Sephora’s Executive Vice President of Human Resources and Education, said, “At Sephora, our continual mission for Values Inside Out is to inspire and engage our teams to play a part in making a difference in their communities, and this bag allows them to do just that, share their passion for cosmetics with their clients that ultimately supports our charitable partners across the country.”

“We were honored that the employees at the Briarwood Mall, Sephora store, wanted to help HSHV’s homeless animals,” said Joy Johnsen, HSHV Events Coordinator. “Sephora’s commitment to helping non-profits fulfill their mission is inspiring and will help raise awareness about abandoned and abused animals in our community.”

Values Inside Out is a visionary partnership program matching Sephora stores across America with non-profit organizations in their own communities. Under this program, each store’s cast members (Sephora’s term for sales associates) chose a local non-profit to help through raising awareness, providing funds and contributing their own “sweat equity” to aide that organization in fulfilling its mission over the course of 2013.
