Small Business In Orlando Florida Donates Prime Day Sales To Families Impacted By Texas Floods
Orlando FL based small business, Wellious, is turning this made up holiday by Amazon into a vehicle to help people. They had already planned to donate a percentage of their profits to the Alzheimer’s Association, but with the tragic events in TX, they have doubled down and committed to donating to families affected by the TX floods also.
Wellious is a Farm-To-Scoop Protein Powder brand, started by their founder after his own health issues led him to realize how many harmful ingredients are in most protein powders.
He bootstrapped the business into one of the fastest growing brands in the category, with a commitment to giving back since day one.
“Long before I ever gave myself a single pay check from Wellious, we donated large percentages of our sales to dozens of causes, giving back 5 figures of cash with the goal of helping any way we can. We’re a tiny business, but I know every little bit helps, and I cant think of a better thing to do with the money Wellious makes other than helping people. “ -Sean Hall, Founder of Wellious
Prime Day was invented by Amazon to amp up sales in the slow summer months, and certainly many businesses large and small get to take part in the success. It’s a day that drives consumer spending and pads the pockets many brands, so it’s nice to see one brand directing this into doing good.
Since making a truly healthy product is the mission of Wellious, it’s no surprise their commitment to helping people via these causes. Whether it’s a devastating disease like Alzheimer’s or a natural disaster like the Texas Floods, there’s no shortage of people who can use all of the help they can get.
“My grandma passed away from Alzheimer’s last year, so I had already planned to funnel profits from Prime Day to make a donation to one of the most active organizations Alzheimer’s Association. But my heart has been breaking for the families who have been blindsided this week with the Texas Floods, so we decided lets give to both causes. We can split the money or double the donation, either way is good with me. The single coolest thing about building wellious has been the ability to use it as a small catalyst to help people. And we won’t stop doing that.” Says Sean.
Orlando Business Donates Prime day sales to Charity
Sean emphasizes that he never feels like being pushy for anyone to have to try Wellious - but for people that do want to try it or for their thousands of existing customers, this Prime Day Sale let’s people get a discount and simultaneously give-back, so it’s a huge win-win.
