Kathy Ireland, who has licensing agreements with several furniture companies, has donated $100,000 to four charities to celebrate record-setting sales for her lifestyle products company, Kathy Ireland Worldwide.
The World Market Center in Las Vegas matched Ireland’s contribution, bringing the total the charities have received to $200,000. The recipients of the contributions include the Elizabeth Taylor HIV/AIDS Foundation, Alliance for Christian Education, Safe Surfing and Help1Up. She recently met with actor Erik Estrada to present a donation to his Safe Surfing program, which informs parents to avoid Internet predators.
She described the four contributions as “an expression of gratitude to our manufacture associates and retail partners for a banner year.
“It is an amazing and humbling experience to have our company’s grants matched by the generous team at the World Market Center. The genius of this group is equaled only by their extraordinary hearts,” Ireland said.
Forbes Magazine has described Ireland as a “supermodel-turned-super-mogul whose business grosses $1.4 billion in annual retail sales.”
