Helping Hands Giving Hope

School of Wash has teamed up with Lily Pad to help bring a little sunshine back into the lives of sexually abused children and women.  How are we going to help?  We will provide all the victims seeking help at the Lily Pad with a bag of shampoo, conditioner and body wash.  Why?  Because it is an amazing cause, but more importantly, every victim of sexual assault has one thing in common, the desire to wash away the assault.  And we know what a relief it is to feel and smell clean.  

We want to make a difference, and you can help!  Our program will launch May 10th and from that day forward for every purchase of School of Wash products we will donate a bag of goodies to the Lily Pad.  You Purchase = We Donate!  It's that simple.  Our goal is to help all 550 women and children that visit the Lily Pad for help every year.  

Help us make a difference!
