- By 2030, BOTOX® Cosmetic Pledges to Empower 50,000 Entrepreneurs, Helping to Close the Confidence Gap.
IRVINE, Calif., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), today announced BOTOX® Cosmetic’s continued commitment to closing the Confidence Gap with the introduction of The Confidence Project: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs. The one & only BOTOX® Cosmetic invites business owners to apply for this year’s program starting today through May 9, 2025, at 11:59pm PT.
Women entrepreneurs continue to break barriers in the business world, with increasing efforts to close the Confidence Gap. When women founders are supported by mentors and have access to capital, they become agents of change. Seventy-one percent of businesswomen said their mentor was influential in their career advancement, with many using their income to uplift their families and community.1
Since 2023, BOTOX® Cosmetic has provided a total of $1 million dollars in grant funding across more than 40 founders, along with coaching and networking opportunities. This year, BOTOX® Cosmetic is expanding to reach more founders by providing 250 entrepreneurs with access to The Confidence Project. Through a partnership with Hello Alice, an online platform that helps businesses launch and grow, each of the 250 entrepreneurs will participate in an intensive “Boostcamp” program, which will provide participants with skill-building, mentorship resources, and exclusive networking opportunities. After completing the course, they will leverage their newfound skills to pitch their business to a panel of aesthetic entrepreneurs, as well as key business leaders from Allergan Aesthetics and Hello Alice, for a chance to receive one of 20 $20,000 grants from BOTOX® Cosmetic.
“BOTOX® Cosmetic is committed to being a catalyst for confidence, whether that be by pursuing education, aesthetic treatment, or your entrepreneurial goals. Through The Confidence Project, we pledge to continue to uplift founders who’ve invested so much in their businesses,” said Nicole Katz, Vice President, Customer Engagement and Corporate Affairs at Allergan Aesthetics. “We know when women have access to resources and capital, there’s no limit to what they can achieve. We look forward to getting to know this year’s cohort of founders and how they found the confidence to pursue their dreams.”
“Our mission at Hello Alice is to help entrepreneurs access the funding, mentorship, and resources they need to succeed. BOTOX® Cosmetic’s The Confidence Project provides a powerful opportunity for women entrepreneurs to scale their businesses and create lasting change,” said Elizabeth Gore, Co-Founder and President of Hello Alice. “Our partnership with BOTOX® Cosmetic aims to foster long-term growth, confidence, and leadership for future generations of women in business, by investing in their success today.”
Business owners and their cofounders interested in applying to The Confidence Project are encouraged to visit www.botoxcosmetic.com/realimpact. Applicants must agree to the official rules of the grant program and submissions must be received by May 9, 2025, at 11:59pm PT. The 250 women entrepreneurs selected to participate in the Hello Alice Boostcamp will be announced in July, and the 20 grant recipients will be announced in October 2025.

Approved Uses
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck (platysma bands) in adults.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
BOTOX® Cosmetic may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic:
- Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, due to weakening of associated muscles, which can be severe and result in loss of life. You are at the highest risk if these problems are preexisting before injection. Swallowing problems may last for several months.
- Spread of toxin effects. The effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas away from the injection site and cause serious symptoms, including loss of strength and all-over muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.
BOTOX® Cosmetic dosing units are not the same as, or comparable to, any other botulinum toxin product.
There has not been a confirmed serious case of spread of toxin effect when BOTOX® Cosmetic has been used at the recommended dose to treat frown lines, crow’s feet lines, forehead lines, and/or platysma bands.
BOTOX® Cosmetic may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, vision problems, or dizziness within hours to weeks of receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.
Serious and/or immediate allergic reactions have been reported, including itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Get medical help right away if you are wheezing or have asthma symptoms, or if you become dizzy or faint.
Do not receive BOTOX® Cosmetic if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in BOTOX® Cosmetic (see Medication Guide for ingredients); had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc (rimabotulinumtoxinB), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs), Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm), or Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg); or have a skin infection at the planned injection site. This list may not include all available botulinum toxin products.
Tell your doctor about all your muscle or nerve conditions, such as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, as you may be at increased risk of serious side effects, including difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing, from standard doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including surgery or plans to have surgery on your face, trouble raising your eyebrows, drooping eyelids, any other abnormal facial change, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX® Cosmetic can harm your unborn baby), or are breastfeeding or plan to (it is not known if BOTOX® Cosmetic passes into breast milk).
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using BOTOX® Cosmetic with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received BOTOX® Cosmetic in the past.
Tell your doctor if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months; have received injections of botulinum toxin such as Myobloc, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, or Letybo in the past (tell your doctor exactly which product you received); have recently received an antibiotic by injection; take muscle relaxants; take an allergy or cold medicine; take a sleep medicine; or take aspirin-like products or blood thinners.
Other side effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic include dry mouth; discomfort or pain at the injection site; tiredness; headache; neck pain; and eye problems, including double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, drooping eyelids and eyebrows, swelling of eyelids, and dry eyes.

During National Volunteer Month, our Maximus Ohio Work Experience Program team fed Cleveland and Cuyahoga County community members through two employee-driven initiatives.
First up was a grab-and-go lunch distribution. Our team made sandwiches and assembled bag lunches and then shared them with visitors to the Cuyahoga County Job and Family Services office. Within an hour, all 100 lunches were shared!
Career Mentor Supervisor Darryl Hill shared, “It was a special sight to experience the gratitude expressed by those who received a lunch and to see my teammates in service to our community. And guess what? We’re not done!”
The Maximus team’s next stop was the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, a Maximus Foundation grantee that serves more than 424,000 people annually. The area’s need for nutritious food remains high, and our employees were ready to volunteer.
At the Maximus Ohio Work Experience Program, we proudly partner with Cuyahoga Job and Family Services to provide employment and training services that help community members reach new heights through long-term employment.
Our team is known for its dedication to helping people on their paths to self-sufficiency and giving back to the community. This time last year, they gathered at the Cleveland Kids Book Bank to sort 300 books for libraries and childcare centers that serve local children in need.
Since 1995, Maximus has remained committed to improving the lives of Ohioans who engage with federal, state, and local government programs. To learn more about how Maximus supports the communities where we work, visit maximus.com/corporate-responsibility.

The company marks 10 years of its Operation Appreciation program with new and expanded efforts to recognize troops and veterans
EIGHTY FOUR, Pa., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In honor of Military Appreciation Month, 84 Lumber is doubling its in-store discount for veterans and active-duty service members to 20 percent off for the month of May at all stores nationwide. The enhanced offer, part of the company’s 10th annual Operation Appreciation initiative, reflects 84 Lumber’s continued commitment to honoring active military service members, veterans and first responders.
“This year marks the 10th anniversary of Operation Appreciation, and we’re proud to expand our support for those who serve,” said Amy Smiley, vice president of marketing at 84 Lumber. “Our commitment extends beyond savings — we’re celebrating military service through partnerships, career development and community recognition.”
One powerful example of that commitment is Matthew Salaices, an Army veteran and now co-manager of 84 Lumber’s Danville, Indiana, store. Salaices served 14 years in the U.S. Army as a Cavalry Scout, including three combat deployments to Iraq and a peacekeeping mission to Kosovo, totaling nearly four years overseas. His military experience built a foundation of leadership, resilience, and service — values he now brings into his role at 84 Lumber.
After retiring from the Army and running his own kitchen remodeling business, Salaices joined 84 Lumber in mid-2024. Within just a few months, he was promoted to Co-Manager—a testament to both his dedication and the company’s commitment to internal growth. For Salaices, the company’s clear path for advancement and team-oriented culture mirrored the camaraderie of military life.
“This company allows you to grow, to lead and to truly make a difference,” he said. “84 Lumber has been a turning point in my life. It is the final job I will ever have.”
Salaices also gives back beyond the job — whether volunteering at his children’s school or encouraging other veterans to explore careers in the trades. He credits mentor and area manager Jared Gibson with helping guide his transition to civilian success and now takes pride in doing the same for others.
“Veterans like Matthew bring unmatched value to our organization,” added Smiley. “Their leadership, adaptability, and drive make them natural fits in our culture.”
84 Lumber is also a proud sponsor of the National Memorial Day Concert, America’s national night of remembrance, airing live Sunday, May 25, at 8 p.m. EST on PBS. Hosted by Joe Mantegna and Gary Sinise, the 90-minute tribute honors the service of generations of military heroes and their families and pays tribute to all those who have given their lives for our country, through powerful stories and musical performances by world-renowned artists and the National Symphony Orchestra.
Additional Operation Appreciation initiatives this May include:
- Commemorative T-shirts for all associates and patriotic branding across stores and social media.
- An extra paid day off for veteran and active duty associates to use on a military holiday of their choosing.
- Supporting veteran-owned small businesses, including social media giveaway featuring items from these businesses.
In partnership with the Pittsburgh Pirates, 84 Lumber continues its Military Mondays sponsorship, awarding $5,000 grants to local military organizations, providing game tickets and honoring service members throughout the baseball season. The company will also sponsor Armed Forces Night, offering 1,000 free tickets to veterans and military families and featuring a ceremonial first pitch by a veteran.
To further support veterans and their families, 84 Lumber is donating $5,000 to the Malone Family Foundation’s Red, White and Blue initiative and supporting the foundation’s Black & Gold Gala, a fundraising event for military-related causes.
“At 84 Lumber, we know veterans bring leadership, skills, and a strong work ethic,” said Smiley. “We’re proud to provide them with career opportunities and a supportive environment to thrive.”
