Pink Ribbon Celebrity: Reese Witherspoon
Reese Witherspoon is a Global Ambassador for Avon Products, Inc. and honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation — an organization that includes breast cancer on their list of initiatives.
Isn’t this photo fantastic? Just this week, Reese took part in a Japanese tea ceremony in Tokyo; she’s there raising awareness of breast cancer (this article cites a study indicating only 12% of Japanese women get regular screenings for breast cancer!).
Why Reese? Check out what Andrea Jung, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Avon Products, Inc., said when Reese’s new role with the company was announced:
“We are thrilled to welcome Reese as our Global Ambassador and believe she will give a strong voice to the company’s commitment to empowering women.
As the company for women, Avon wanted to partner with someone who could represent not only our world-famous beauty brand, but also could be a source of inspiration for our more than 5 million Avon Representatives around the world – and Reese is a perfect fit.
She is an accomplished actress, a successful producer and a working mother – and clearly embodies the drive, the commitment and entrepreneurial spirit that is at the heart of the Avon Representative.
That’s from the Avon Products’ webpage with her name on it.
Now with her? I can feel her excitement over doing her part, can’t you?
