Al Jarreau Performs at Isagenix’s Childhelp Fundraiser
Las Vegas – Aug. 7, 2006 – Seven-time Grammy Award winner and musical great Al Jarreau headlined Isagenix’s Childhelp Fundraiser concert today at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The event raised nearly $200,000 for Childhelp’s programs and services dedicated to children who have suffered from neglect or abuse.
"We’re pleased to have such a wonderful performer join us in our mission to fight child abuse," said Isagenix President and CEO Jim Coover. "Al Jarreau helped us turn our fundraiser into an amazing success."
Isagenix’s affiliation with Childhelp began in June 2005 when the company announced it would donate a portion of every sale of its IsaDermix Skin Renewal System to the organization. Isagenix’s founders and top executives also made generous contributions.
In January 2006, Isagenix solidified its mission to help children by allowing Isagenix Associates to contribute via their monthly Autoship orders and employees the ability to donate directly from their paychecks.
The funds directly support the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD, which offers crisis intervention, information, literature and referrals to thousands of emergency, social service and support programs.
The event took place directly after Isagenix’s 2007 "Changing Lives" Celebration.
