Campaign Update: We are More Than Halfway There!

September 11, 2020 By Andrea Palombella Leave a Comment

Thanks to YOU, We Surpassed 50% of Our Campaign Goal! 

As of last night, we reached 54% of our campaign goal for PRETTY UGLY! Thank you, incredibly generous contributors, for helping us get past the halfway point of our crowdfunding campaign! 

We have raised $6,450 (AMAZING!), and now we have 12 days left to raise $3,000 or more in order to keep these contributions, by meeting our 80% minimum fundraising goal. We are SO close to successfully completing this campaign!

Please be sure to share this email with your friends and loved ones so they can learn about the film and partner with us, receive awesome thank you gifts and be history-makers just like YOU!

SNEAK PEEK SCENE!
Dr. Patisaul Explains: What’s the Big Deal about Phthalates?

Take two and check out an exclusive sneak peek scene from our film, featuring Dr. Heather Patisaul, Associate Dean of Research at North Carolina State University. In this scene, Dr. Patisaul explains phthalates, common plasticizer ingredients found in cosmetics and toiletries, major health and safety risks of this class of chemicals (you’ll be shocked!), and what types of personal products they are often found in.
