Every April, Mint on the Avenue — an Aveda Concept Salon at 228 N Park Avenue in Winter Park, FL — celebrates Earth Month by fundraising for charity: water through the Aveda Earth RunWalk, limited-edition Shampure Shampoo Bar sales ($5 per bar donated), and direct donations. Mint on the Avenue is located at 228 N Park Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789, steps from the koi ponds of Central Park, and every April we mark Earth Month by fundraising for charity: water alongside Aveda. Below are the ways you can join us — each one a small, considered act for the planet.
- Aveda Earth Month
- Observed every April, Earth Month is Aveda’s annual commitment to environmental stewardship, centering fundraising for clean water access worldwide through its partnership with charity: water.
- charity: water
- A nonprofit organization working toward clean water access for communities worldwide — the beneficiary of Aveda’s Earth Month fundraising efforts, including sales of the limited-edition Shampure Nurturing Shampoo Bar.

- An annual fundraising movement challenge that uses the MoveSpring app to track participant progress and raise money for charity: water.
How Does the Aveda Earth RunWalk Raise Money for Clean Water?
The Aveda Earth RunWalk invites participants to log movement — running, walking, or anything in between — while raising funds for charity: water. Progress is tracked through the MoveSpring app, which connects your steps to a larger collective goal. Whether you lace up along the brick paths near Rollins College or circle the Hannibal Square neighborhood, every mile contributes. Sign up, move at your own pace, and watch small efforts accumulate into something meaningful for communities without reliable water access.
Where Can I Buy the Limited-Edition Aveda Shampure Shampoo Bar?
The Shampure Nurturing Shampoo Bar is available during Earth Month only — and only while supplies last. Five dollars from each purchase goes directly to charity: water. The bar arrives in zero-plastic packaging, delivers weightless nourishment across all hair types, and carries the calm, floral-herbal Shampure aroma that has defined the line for decades. All Aveda products are vegan and cruelty-free. You can pick up the Shampure Nurturing Shampoo Bar in person at 228 N Park Avenue, or shop online at mintontheavenue.com/shopaveda.
Which Aveda No-Wash Products Help Save Water at Home?
Skipping a wash saves water — and the right products make it effortless. Aveda’s no-wash and naturally derived options include:
- Foam Reset Rinseless Hydrating Hair Cleanser — Adds moisture, shine, frizz reduction, bounce, and definition to second-day hair of all textures. It cools the scalp and hydrates from roots to ends without a drop of rinse water.
- Rinseless Refresh Micellar Hair & Scalp Refresher — Instant super-cleansing with micellar technology. Ideal for slightly wavy to tight, coily textures and an effective frizz-tamer in Central Florida’s humidity.
- Shampowder Dry Shampoo — Absorbs excess oil, impurities, and sweat with powerful botanical powders. Adds texture and volume instantly, carries the Shampure scent, and comes in non-aerosol packaging.
- Heat Relief Thermal Protector & Conditioning Mist — Allows use of hot tools without the damage, infusing hair with softness, shine, and the Shampure aroma.

Why Does Mint on the Avenue Observe Earth Month Every April?
Sustainability has been central to Aveda’s philosophy since its founding, and as an Aveda Concept Salon, Mint on the Avenue carries that commitment forward year-round — not only in April. We choose plant-powered, vegan formulas. We minimize waste in our daily operations. And each year during Earth Month, we formalize that commitment by raising funds for charity: water alongside Aveda and our guests from Winter Park, Maitland, College Park, Baldwin Park, Audubon Park, and Lake Mary. For us, every day is Earth Day — April simply gives us a shared moment to act on that belief together.
Looking ahead to May, Aveda products and salon gift cards also make a considered gift for Mother’s Day. The same care we bring to the planet, we bring to the people in it.
