Madison, WI – UP4 Probiotics will be donating a portion of their sales of UP4 WOMEN’S probiotic to the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) during the month of October. This organization was chosen through nationwide polling that took place during August and September on UP4’s website and social media outlets.

“We are proud to have been chosen by your customers to receive a portion of every sale of UP4 Women’s Probiotics during October,” said Kim Gandy, NNEDV President & CEO. “October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we are encouraged by this generous support of our work. One in four women will experience abuse in her lifetime. With numbers like these, we all know someone who has experienced abuse. Or worse, someone we love is suffering in silence. It is so crucial that we all work together to shine a light on and end this epidemic. Victims of domestic violence often face immediate and chronic health issues as a result of domestic violence. UP4’s commitment to promoting health is consistent with working to end domestic violence.”

NNEDV is dedicated to creating a social, political, and economic environment in which violence against women no longer exists. NNEDV is a leading national voice for domestic violence survivors and their advocates.

For each bottle of UP4 WOMEN’S sold during October, UP4 Probiotics will donate 25¢ to NNEDV. Additionally, UP4 Probiotics will be donating to a charity that serves women in their local community of Wausau, Wisconsin. The Women’s Community Center of Wausau was selected through companywide employee polling to also receive 25¢ of every bottle of UP4 WOMEN’S sold.
