John Paul DeJoira: Giving
California's Wildlife A Chance
Beverly Hills, CA - The
California Wildlife Center (CWC) paid tribute to John Paul
DeJoria recently at the annual Wild Hearts gala and auction on
November 16th, 2002 with their first annual California Wildlife
Free Spirit Awards.
"We have wanted to publicly praise Mr. DeJoira's philanthropy
for quite some time," said Board Member Darlene Snow.
The CWC honored John Paul DeJoria, CEO of John Paul Mitchell
Systems, for his commitment to preserving wildlife and the
environment. On behalf of John Paul Mitchell Systems and
hairdressers everywhere, he has donated thousands of dollars to
the CWC to aid them in their mission to provide wildlife rescue
and rehabilitation services to injured, sick and orphaned native
wildlife in the Santa Monica Mountains region.
The CWC expressed great gratitude and support for John Paul
DeJoria's contribution of the 410 acres of land in Tuna Canyon
earlier in the year, as well as the John Paul Mitchell Systems
cruelty-free pledge. "Mr. DeJoria's combination of
individual charity and corporate commitment is admirable, and we
want the community to know that it has not gone unnoticed"
said Ms. Snow.
"The California Wildlife Center is one of the premiere
environmental organizations on the west coast, said John Paul
DeJoria. "I'm proud to be able to support them
financially and happy that they can benefit from my latest
donation."
The California Wildlife Center is a registered nonprofit
organization providing specialized care for sick, injured and
orphaned native wildlife in western Los Angeles county, from
Hollywood and Long Beach up the Malibu Coast.
Their mission is to rehabilitate these animals and return
them to the wild. The organization's existing facility
includes a medical clinic as well as a number of specialized
outdoor enclosures. They also have an active Education
Program that visits local schools to teach young people the
importance of wildlife and habitat conservation.
A firm commitment to caring for the earth informs every
aspect of John Paul Mitchell Systems policy and strategy.
According to John Paul DeJoria, "Corporations can and
should change the world for the better. We have the
perspective needed to leave the world a better place for our
having been here."
