On February 18, Avon celebrity partner Zoë Saldana visited the Dominican Republic along with Bob Briddon, Group Vice President, North America Marketing, and helped deliver a generous donation of Avon products to the Dominican Republic Red Cross to aid in the Haiti earthquake relief efforts.

The trip comes a month after every North America facility held a clothing drive to collect much-needed items such as clothing, bedding, towels and personal care products for victims of the earthquake. Thousands of boxes of donations were collected and then shipped to the Dominican Republic facility which served as a staging area.

Saldana, Briddon and Maria del Carmen Sanchez, Country Manager, Avon Dominican Republic, joined Associates in delivering the donations to the Red Cross. They were greeted by a flood of press, as more than 50 media outlets met the caravan, and interviewed Saldana, del Carmen Sanchez, Briddon and Red Cross volunteers about Avon's contribution. Later in the day, Saldana posed for photos with Red Cross staff and volunteers in front of the truckloads of supplies.
