The Mary Kay Foundation 2013 Accomplishments
Inspiring Beauty Through Caring
Throughout her life, Mary Kay Ash showed others how to give. She gave hope to women who lacked opportunity. She encouraged others, and she gave financially. I think she would be so proud to see the how her Foundation has grown since she started it in 1996.
Take a look at her legacy through The Mary Kay Foundation in 2013.
