Mu Tau Mu of Alpha Chi Omega

Our goal this week is to show our gratitude to a corporate partner that has made a huge difference to the domestic violence awareness movement. Through its “Stop Violence in the Home” products and “Bag for Life” The Body Shop has contributed $1.5 million over the last six years to National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

The program will come to an end soon, but through July 2009, you can still “shop for dva:” your purchase of these four products will make a difference!

Stop Violence in the Home Hi-Shine Lip Treatment
