May 2017 – Sun Evolutions, Heartland Tan and Eye Pro teamed up in April to raise funds for Best Friends Animal Society to prevent 9,000 dogs and cats from being killed daily in shelters.

During April, $3 was donated to Best Friends Animal Society for every “Best Friends” deal purchased from Heartland Tan. The April deal included a bottle of Bestie tanning lotion from Supre Tan and a box of EYE PRO’s Wink-Ease disposable eye protection.

Best Friends Animal Society is the only national animal welfare organization focused exclusively on ending the killing of animals in America’s shelters.  Best Friends runs the nation’s largest no kill sanctuary for companion animals as well as lifesaving programs with shelters across the country.  Since its founding in 1984, Best Friends has helped reduce the number of animals killed in shelters nationwide from 17 million per year to about 4 million.  Together, we can “Save Them All”!

“Heartland Tan was honored to exclusively offer this deal to benefit Best Friends”, said Abby Henson Gallagher, Heartland Tanning Director of Marketing.  “Our team is completely behind this cause and our customers loved it!”

“Sun Evolutions is a sponsor of Best Friends, and we were delighted to team up with industry leaders, Eye Pro and Heartland. We want to thank all the salons that enthusiastically supported us by buying this deal!”, exclaimed Maggie Curran, Vice President of Sun Evolutions.

“Wow!  I can’t believe we raised $2,350 to help find forever homes for pets nationwide!  Thanks to the salons, Heartland, and Sun Evolutions who all made this promotion a raving success!”, said Brenda Fishbaugh, President of Eye Pro.

October 2016 – EYE PRO, Inc., world leader in disposable eye protection for indoor tanning and makers of Ultra Gold WINK-EASE, Lash Room WINK-EASE and WINK-EASE Dark, wants to help tanning salons become effective with social media, so they’ve created a FREE online training to do just that!

“As a small business, we knew we needed to step into the world of social media. We tried to figure out where on social media we should be.  Where should we post? What time should we post? How many posts? Personal or business page? It was all very confusing,” said Brenda Fishbaugh, President of EYE PRO. “I took a few online courses and read some blogs, but the information was aimed at a wide variety of business — big business and online business — and lots of the information didn’t apply to me or to tanning salons,” she continued.

“I decided to distill the information down to what was useful for small tanning salons who had very little time and money to struggle with social media. Our 30-minute You Tube video — “Social Media for Tanning Salons Part 1” — simplifies social media and shows what you can do with just five minutes a day,”  explained Fishbaugh. (more…)

June 2015 – EYE PRO, Inc., world leader in eyewear and makers of Ultra Gold WINK-EASE, WINK-EASE Dark and the NEW Lash Room WINK-EASE, has purchased fifty beaded bracelets made by Kenyan women and will be giving them away to tanning salon owners during several Facebook promotions.

“We just came back from our sixth trip to Africa,” said Brenda Fishbaugh, EYE PRO president. “We met with the staff of the Northern Rangelands Trust while in Kenya.  One of the biggest problems facing the rare rhino, elephants and other exotic animals is the lack of grasslands.  The large herds of goats, sheep, cattle and camels often decimate the limited grass and water supplies.  This organization provides Kenyan women with jobs.  The money from the sale of these beautiful bracelets goes to help the most needy of communities and decreases their dependence on livestock as their only source of income.”

Fishbaugh continues: “We were thrilled to support Northern Rangeland Trust’s efforts by purchasing 100 bracelets hand-made by the Kalama Women’s Group in the Samburu district of Northern Kenya.  We decided to share them with our tanning salon customers!”

Eye Pro’s president, Brenda Fishbaugh returns to Africa — read her article featured in the May 2015 issue of IST magazine.

This was my sixth time in Africa and third trip in five years to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, one of the leading organizations working to save rhinos from poaching. Rhinos are being killed for their horn, which is used in traditional Asian medicines because it is mistakenly believed to have healing properties.Located in central Kenya, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is working to protect rhinos by providing a safe sanctuary for them and providing the food sources they prefer.Elephants and rare Grevy’s zebra also are protected by armed guards and patrolling airplanes and radio collars. This huge effort is funded in several ways, with the American Association of Zookeepers (AAZK) “Bowling for Rhinos” fundraiser providing substantial support, as well as money raised through tourism and donations.
