PRAI Beauty Announces The Launch Of The Cathy Kangas Foundation For Animals
NEW CANAAN, Conn., Nov. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cathy Kangas, CEO and Founder of PRAI Beauty, the leader in cruelty-free skincare that supports animal causes, announced today the launch of the Cathy Kangas Foundation for Animals. The mission of the Foundation, a registered 501 (c)(3) charity, is to provide a voice to those who have none by making sure that every animal is protected and loved, particularly those in animal shelters or kill pens for horses. All administrative fees will be paid for by PRAI Beauty with all money going directly to saving animals.
The Foundation will start by funding five key initiatives including:
- Expand the Free the Shelters campaign – PRAI Beauty's successful campaign to help homeless animals by paying adoption fees. The goal is to end the senseless euthanization of the 3.2 million healthy dogs and cats in our animal shelters and the thousands more that languish in shelters hoping to find a forever home. Since May 2017, the Free the Shelters campaign has saved more than 5,000 animals at 65 shelters.
- End the needless slaughter of America's horses sent to Mexico and Canada to be served as food. PRAI Beauty has rescued thousands of horses from kill pens and sent them to sanctuaries and out to pasture.
- Help veterans with PTSD through equine therapy. We are saving horses; saving heroes
- Outreach to rescue teams that save animals from natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires.
- Support the rehabilitation of chimpanzees used in laboratory experiments and medical research by relocating them to sanctuaries.
Kangas, a long-time supporter of animal welfare, is a member of the Board of Directors of the Humane Society of the United States and the recipient of its prestigious "Compassion in Action" award for her work to end the Canadian seal hunt. She has been recognized by the Wall Street Journal and other publications for her groundbreaking work, is the Hometown Hero at Channel 12 in her home state of Connecticut and was nominated as a CNN Hero. She is the proud owner of four rescue dogs.
"I started my Foundation because so many people have inquired about how they can help make a difference in the lives of animals. I wanted to give my PRAI Beauty customers a way to join me in saving animals in need. We have always donated a percentage of sales from the PRAI Beauty skin care range to reputable animal welfare organizations and through my new Foundation we will expand our efforts," said Kangas.
