Introducing the Revlon LOVE IS ON Million Dollar Challenge
Revlon to Ignite Donations for Women’s Health Initiatives through Fundraising Competition
July 30, 2015 (New York, NY) – Revlon announced today the second phase of its new philanthropic platform designed to have a greater impact on women’s health initiatives with the Revlon LOVE IS ON Million Dollar Challenge. The Revlon LOVE IS ON Million Dollar Challenge is inviting charities dedicated to three leading health issues facing women today — women’s cancers, heart disease, and diabetes — to participate in an online fundraising challenge. The charity that raises the most donations for their cause over the course of six weeks will win an additional $1 million donation from Revlon. While the challenge will kick-off on September 21, 2015, the application for charity entrants goes live today.
To host this fund-raising challenge, Revlon is partnering with CrowdRise, the leading site for charitable crowdfunding. The Revlon LOVE IS ON Million Dollar Challenge is the biggest challenge award in CrowdRise’s history.
“It is Revlon’s mission to inspire positivity and love. With this challenge, we want to encourage the public to show their love for these critical women’s health initiatives that have a direct impact on women’s lives,” said Lorenzo Delpani, CEO of Revlon. “We hope this challenge will not only ignite the passion that the public has for their favorite causes, but empower a diverse group of non-profits that are making a real difference in women’s lives,” added Delpani.
“We are excited to enter this innovative, new realm of fundraising,” said Victoria Ashley, Head of Global Public Relations for Revlon. “CrowdRise’s reputation for being the leader in this modern philanthropic space made them the perfect choice to help us expand our charitable reach.”
Eligibility
Starting today through October 5, charities dedicated to the selected causes can complete an online application at https://www.crowdrise.com/revlonchallenge for a chance to compete. The participating charities will be announced on a rolling basis.
In order to participate in the Revlon LOVE IS ON Million Dollar Challenge, charitable organizations must have non-profit 501(c)(3) status with a mission to better women’s lives and fall into one of the three select women’s health initiative pillars identified by Revlon: Women’s Cancers, Heart Disease and Diabetes. As part of the application, organizations must include a statement on how they will spread LOVE for their cause.
Competition
When the Revlon LOVE IS ON Million Dollar Challenge kicks off on September 21, participating charities will begin tapping their supporter networks to ignite donations, and help them continuously fundraise throughout the six weeks. Passionate consumers can show their love for their favorite cause in a few ways: directly donating to their chosen charity through the Revlon challenge homepage, setting up a personal fundraising page on CrowdRise and linking to their beloved charity, and encouraging others to join their crusade by sharing on their social media channels.
The Prize
In addition to the $1 million grand prize, Revlon will be making a $250,000 donation to the runner-up. There will also be additional prizes distributed throughout the challenge to add to the excitement of the competition. The winner of the Revlon LOVE IS ON Million Dollar Challenge will be announced later this year.
