Avon Chairman and CEO Andrea Jung with Global Ambassador Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon is a leading representative for Avon’s anniversary campaign. The 34-year-old actress became the first global ambassador for Avon Cosmetics in 2007, and as the beauty brand celebrates its 125th anniversary this year, Witherspoon will help the company continue to celebrate the empowerment of women.

Avon has officially launched its Global Believe Tour, a celebration that will travel to 16 cities around the world and feature special guests like Fergie, Patrick Dempsey and Suze Orman. As part of the year-long anniversary, Avon has committed $1 million to a Global Believe Fund that will support women’s domestic violence shelters and organizations located in each of the tour cities.

Both the tour and the fund will compliment the launch of Avon Voices, the “first-ever online singing talent search for women and songwriting competition for women and men.” Judges for the competition include leading music icons such as six-time Grammy award winner Fergie; legendary songwriter Diane Warren; Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield and more.
