'Walgreens + Vitamin Angels: Meet the Moms' released on YouTube
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens on Wednesday posted its latest video touting its relationship with Vitamin Angels titled, "Walgreens + Vitamin Angels: Meet the Moms."
"When your baby's born, the first thing you're going to do is you're going to tap that baby's fingers and you're going to tap that baby's toes, and you're going to look at that baby's face and say, 'Just be healthy.' That's going to be your wish," said Howard Schiffer, Vitamin Angels founder, in opening the video. The almost 2-minute long video features interviews with Walgreens pharmacists and moms who have benefited from Vitamin Angels.
Last summer, Walgreens extended its Vitamin Angeles partnership through 2017. Walgreens and its vitamin brand partners will donate 1% of retail sales from vitamin purchases of participating brands to Vitamin Angels.
Walgreens and Vitamin Angels have generated enough funds to help more than 37.5 million children to date. By 2017, the two organizations aim to reach 100 million children and mothers in over 40 countries worldwide.
