Community Involvement
Azura Skin Care Center and our staff are proud to support these organizations and others in our local community. Giving back to the community has been a top priority from the time of business conception and we have high hopes of continuing to support those around us locally and nationally.

Models for Charity
Models for Charity is an organization of professional men and women in the Triangle who raise money for local charities. The MFC Model team consists of local business owners and entrepreneurs who share a common goal of using our talents to benefit Triangle charities that need help, benefiting charities by hosting fundraisers and volunteering for events held by other organizations. Additionally, each Model that participates in any paid event has agreed to donate at least 25% of the income earned at that event to a local charity with the tax benefit going to the employer hiring the model.
True Justice International
True Justice International: A Christ-centered international ministry that brings freedom and healing to those associated with human trafficking. We at Azura feel this is a large scale problem that gets very little attention. Through financial support and awareness, our goal in sponsoring True Justice International is that we can help to improve the lives of these victims and help to decrease the risk of others being forced into this horrific being. One current project True Justice International is working on is to open a safe house that will serve national and international survivors of human trafficking. The house will be called Anna’s house and will provide a complete trauma informed therapeutic program for the women.
Western Wake Crisis Ministry
Western Wake Crisis Ministry: Exists to provide a helping hand to the Apex & Holly Springs (NC) community – in the form of food or crisis financial aid – to those in our community whose ability to sustain independent living is threatened by unexpected circumstances: illness, car or home repairs, decrease in wages, etc. Azura Skin Care Center collects non-parishable items throughout different times of the year, mainly the summer due to low level of donations, with our ‘Fill our counter to Fill their cabinets” efforts.
