Shaklee Cares® Charitable Events at the Shaklee Global Conference in New Orleans

At-A-Glance Charitable Event Summary

Participate in the rebirth of New Orleans! Join other members of the Shaklee Family and make a difference. Let's put the strength of our hearts, the strength of our numbers and the strength of our hands together and leave New Orleans better than when we came.

What is Shaklee Cares®? Shaklee Cares® is our publicly supported, nonprofit organization whose mission is to help people directly affected by natural disasters and emergencies. Shaklee Cares partners with grass-roots citizen groups working in the impacted areas, offering assistance in the form of Disaster Packs (Shaklee products), cash relief and the volunteer efforts of local Distributors.

For example, after the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Shaklee Cares® raised and distributed nearly $500,000 in cash and products for immediate assistance to people in need.

Attendees at this year's Shaklee Global Conference will have an exclusive opportunity to make a difference in three ways:

1. Participate in community rebuilding experiences on either Tuesday August 5th or Wednesday August 6th (or both).
2. Purchase tickets to attend a special charity dinner on Saturday August 9th, which will raise funds to continue the rebuilding work for this incredible city and its wonderful people, even after we have gone.
3. Purchase a Shaklee Cares® New Orleans Pack (#81165) for donation. You will receive PV from the purchase of the pack, and the New Orleans community will receive the benefit of the donation through Shaklee Cares. Then on Wednesday, August 6th, you and any other Shaklee volunteers will have the privilege of assembling all of the donated Get Clean Packs. These special packs are orderable via phone only, not orderable via the web
