3. Beauty Changes Lives announced that

Great Idea
1. Hyatt Hotels Corporation has launched the Hyatt Cares
Fund, a program designed to support Hyatt staff members
with pressing financial needs during the COVID-19
pandemic. The fund was created through donations from
the Hyatt Hotels Foundation and Pritzker family foundations,
as well as reducing the salaries of Hyatt’s senior
leadership. Ultimately, the fund will support colleagues
who are ineligible for government assistance through
grants for rent payments, groceries and more.
2. Art in Wellness, a collaborative arts initiative co-founded
by Michael Tompkins and which counts Beauty Changes
Lives and Hutchinson Consulting among its partners,
issued an open call for artists to submit “artwork
communicating the healing power of touch within the
spa, beauty and wellness community.” The four winners—
announced on June 15—were awarded $1,000 cash
prizes. The winning works of art will be available virtually
at artinwellness.com and will be shared via physical
placement.
3. Mala and Mantra is now offering a “MOCO Self-Care Kit”
in collaboration with a variety of industry partners,
including European Spa Source, Helen Jon and Skin
Authority. MOCO, short for “more compassion,” is the
company’s motto for increasing compassion during the
COVID-19 crisis. For each kit sold through December 31,
Mala and Mantra will send one kit to a frontline healthcare
provider and donate to #FirstRespondersFirst.
Each kit contains a product from each partner, including
sustainable jewelry, hand cream, lip gloss, a face mask
and more.
