Charity
In April 2011, Covergirl supported the Procter & Gamble Children's Safe Drinking Water campaign. Covergirl donated all its proceeds from the sale of the special powders, which got launched for the 50th anniversary of the company, to it.
CoverGirl has also several times given checks to people in need featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Most recently to the cancer-diagnosed Talia Castellano, a 13-year old girl wishing to be a make-up artist. Ellen DeGeneres also announced on her show that CoverGirl chose Talia to be an honorary CoverGirl.

Famous quotes containing the word charity:
“Governments can err, Presidents do make mistakes, but the immortal Dante tells us that divine justice weighs the sins of the cold-blooded and the sins of the warm-hearted in different scales. Better the occasional faults of a Government that lives in a spirit of charity than the constant omission of a Government frozen in the ice of its own indifference.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“These days are dangerous;
Virtue is choked with foul ambition,
And charity chased hence by rancor’s hand.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“How much methinks, I could despise this man,
But that I am bound in charity against it.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
