Since June 2012, Votre Vu has supported the St. Baldrick’s Foundation by donating $1 from every French Accents product sold, and as a result has contributed $55,000 to childhood cancer research in 18 months.

The French-inspired beauty brand — a favorite of celebrities such as Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Jordan Sparks — has just unveiled two new campaigns to benefit St. Baldrick’s:

  • Their “Bald is Beautiful” soiree program helps St. Baldrick’s participants earn donations toward their individual, team, or event fundraising totals by hosting a Votre Vu party. The host will receive a minimum of 15% of the total soiree sales as a donation to their St. Baldrick’s fundraising page.
  • Their 2014 Valentine’s Day promotions provide customers with discounted beauty packages that include a donation to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
