One by One: Amway Global

Through a partnership with Easter Seals Canada, Amway Global helps children with disabilities and special needs meet their full potential. From child development centers to physical rehabilitation, Easter Seals offers a variety of services to help people with disabilities address life's challenges and achieve personal goals.

Amway Global’s employees and IBOs embrace the partnership fully, supporting it through Easter Seals Drop Zone, an exciting event allowing average Canadians a chance to trade in their suits and briefcases for helmets and harnesses and rappel down tall buildings to raise money for Easter Seals.

Amway Global is proud to support the United Way of London and Middlesex and Junior Achievement of London & District, as well as many other outstanding programs impacting Canadian children.

• Easter Seals Drop Zone – The Nutrilite® brand is proud to be the National Ascending Sponsor of this exciting event.  Employees and IBOs are challenged to join Team Nutrilite and raise a minimum of $1,500 which earns them the right to rappel down one ofCanada’s tallest buildings.  Drop Zone events take place in major centres across Canada in late summer and early fall.  For full details on The Drop Zone, visit www.thedropzone.ca.
• Pathways to Success Product Expos – For the past few years, Amway Global has taken its show on the road, presenting a series of product expositions in major Canadian urban centres. In lieu of an admission charge to these events, the corporation collects donations from its attendees, with all funds going to Easter Seals Canada. To date,  we have raised over $30,000!.
• Beauty Begins with Heart® Products – Amway Global is proud to offer a variety of Beauty Begins with Heart products, a portion of the proceeds of which, is donated to Easter Seals Canada.
• On-Line Donations – IBOs and customers have an opportunity to donate directly to Easter Seals while shopping on amwayglobal.ca. It’s as simple as choosing either the $10 or $25 donation SKU and adding it to your shopping cart.
• Easter Seals Holiday Greetings Cards – We  offer people the opportunity to give the gift of hope through the purchase of Easter Seals Holiday Greetings cards, each of which includes a non-denominational seasonal message. A portion of the price from each purchase is donated to Easter Seals.

In addition to our support of Easter Seals on a national level, Amway Canada Corporation is also involved with a number of local organizations, including:
