Ulta Beauty Guests Raise More Than $1.1 Million for Save the Children

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ulta Beauty guests brought possibilities to life for mothers and children in rural communities this past Mother's Day season through in-store and online donations totaling more than $1.1 million. All proceeds will benefit Save the Children's Early Steps to School Success program and families impacted by natural disasters in the United States. The partnership reflects the Ulta Beauty Charitable Foundation's (UBCF) mission to increase the number of women and families Ulta Beauty can empower and strengthen through financial support.

"This past Mother's Day season, guests at more than 1,100 stores and online experienced the beauty of giving back with 100 percent of donations benefiting Save the Children's critical early learning and disaster relief programs in the United States," said Mary Dillon, Ulta Beauty's chief executive officer. "We know that in order to ensure a bright future for all children, women and their families need access to early learning opportunities and protection from harm. For 100 years, Save the Children has done whatever it takes – every day and in times of crisis – to transform children's lives and the future we share."

"I've never met a mom who didn't want the best for her child, and with Ulta Beauty's partnership, we helped more moms ensure their children are getting the early learning opportunities they need. With 85 percent of a child's brain developed by age three, the quality time moms spend with their young children at home is so very crucial for a child's success – and Save the Children is equipping moms with the tools they need to turn every day moments into brain-building moments," said Mark Shriver, Save the Children's senior vice president of U.S. programs & advocacy. "We're incredibly grateful to Ulta Beauty – and your generous shoppers – for supporting Save the Children this year during the Mother's Day shopping season."

In addition to its early learning work in America, Save the Children's emergency response teams are on the front lines of every major emergency in the United States, helping meet children's most urgent and unique needs.

"Disasters are scary and disruptive for kids – they take children away from their homes, their schools, their friends and can have lasting consequences," said Shriver. "Save the Children gets parents the essential items they need to continue to care for their children during an emergency and sets up safe spaces in shelters where kids can play, learn and begin to cope. We're on the ground for the long term, partnering with local communities to restore childcare centers and preschools – so kids can get back to learning and recover."
