Earth Month, celebrated annually in April, serves as a global reminder of our planet’s fragility and the urgent need for environmental stewardship. It’s a time for individuals, communities, and organizations to unite in sustainable actions, raising awareness about pressing environmental issues like climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Earth Month is a call to action, inspiring collective responsibility and fostering a deeper connection to nature, emphasizing the importance of sustainable living and conservation efforts year-round.

Hiatus Spa + Retreat, the award-winning Texas day spa with eight locations across the state, is delighted to announce its annual Spa for a Cause campaign to celebrate Earth Month, taking place from April 1-30. Each Hiatus Spa location and online will raffle off one of their most popular HydraFacial services, with 100% of ticket proceeds benefiting Charity: Water, a nonprofit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to millions of people around the world.

Guests can purchase one raffle ticket for $5 or five raffle tickets for $20 at any of the eight locations or online throughout April. 

Since 2016, Hiatus has funded two wells through Charity: Water, one in the Tigray region of Ethiopia and one in Jahapur, Bangladesh. This has given over 700 people access to clean water.

Dole Food Company has started a busy year of health, wellness, and hunger-relief initiatives by extending its partnership with No Kid Hungry, a campaign of Share Our Strength, committed to ending hunger and poverty, for a third consecutive year in 2024. The company’s alliance with the national nonprofit began in summer 2020 in response to the impact of COVID-19 when schools closed and millions more U.S. children were left facing hunger.

Dole’s ongoing work with No Kid Hungry includes nutrition education, fundraising support, and at-retail initiatives to help the thirteen million kids in the U.S. who are living with hunger to have access to three healthy meals a day.

The produce leader is also the presenting sponsor of Get Fit for No Kid Hungry, an influencer-based health and wellness fundraising initiative designed to rally the nation’s top fitness and nutrition experts to host health-related livestream classes and web-based instruction throughout January. In addition to sponsoring the program, Dole is encouraging its own partner bloggers and influencers to inspire their followers to get fit and give back in the New Year by donating to No Kid Hungry.

The renewed collaborations with No Kid Hungry are part of a milestone year for Dole that will include virtual health and wellness workshops, new brand ambassadors, dozens of new, produce-based recipes and local and national celebrations marking the 125th anniversary of DOLE® Bananas.

“We’ve been honored to work alongside No Kid Hungry over the past three years in their quest to ensure that every child in the U.S. gets the healthy food they need to thrive. While we’ve made some great strides together, there is still much work to do to fulfill both organizations’ goals of addressing hunger and food insecurity for children.” – William Goldfield, Dole Food Company’s director of corporate communications

“Access to healthy food unlocks so much opportunity for our nation’s kids. When kids have access to three meals a day, they can dream big and have a bright future. That’s why we’re so incredibly grateful to Dole and our other Get Fit partners, as well as the many fitness, health and wellness experts hosting ‘Get Fit for No Kid Hungry’ livestream classes this January to help raise awareness and funds to connect kids to the food they need. Together, we can get fit, give back and make sure kids across the country have access to the fuel they need to grow up healthy and strong.” – Carla Warner, senior director of Revenue Innovation at Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign

Active in the health and wellness blogger and influencer space since 2009, Dole recruited several Get Fit for No Kid Hungry influencers participating in the 2022 and 2023 programs. The company is encouraging its millions of social media followers, employees, customers, Dole Nutrition News e-newsletter subscribers, growers, retailers and other industry partners to contribute to the effort.
