It is well known that Ampro Industries, Inc., is a leader when it comes to giving back to the community. The company truly believes in going the extra mile for those who have kept their styling gels number one for decades. This year, Ampro is increasing awareness of their philanthropic activities through a new campaign called, "A Positive Message."
In the past, Ampro has worked with organizations such as the Parkinson's Disease Foundation and the Mid-South Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to help bring awareness to their organizations and share their purposes with Ampro consumers. Through its new "A Positive Message" campaign, this year Ampro will work with International HIV/AIDS Activist Hydeia Broadbent to show Ampro consumers the positive life one can live with HIV/AIDS, how one can protect him/herself from contracting the virus and what they can do to help find a cure.
Born HIV positive, Ms. Broadbent has devoted her life to setting a positive example. Since age six, Hydeia has spoken publicly about her status and by age twelve, appeared on many national television programs including Oprah, 20/20, Good Morning America, and "A Conversation with Magic Johnson" on Nickelodeon. She has been featured in prominent publications such as The New York Times, People, Teen People, Essence, Ebony and Sister 2 Sister and has received numerous awards for her efforts. Having recently celebrated her 30th birthday, Hydeia spends her time spreading the message of HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention by promoting abstinence, safe-sex and the importance of getting tested.
