Murad is committed to the health of our customers, our community and our world.
Below are a few of the organizations we support.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles
Each year Dr. Murad offers educational scholarships to those pursuing careers
in healthcare.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles works to help children in need reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships that strengthen the social, emotional, cognitive and behavioral competencies of children living in poverty; improve the children's commitment to school and to academic achievement; improve the children's understanding of healthy standards of behavior; improve each child's resilience, self-efficacy and sense of the future; and strengthen each child's sense of self-worth.
Heal the Bay Aquarium
The Murad aquarium tank provides a hands on learning experience for children
of all ages.
The Santa Monica Pier Aquarium (SMPA) is a marine science aquarium offering school groups, families and visitors a unique view into the ocean world just outside its doors and is home to dozens of species of marine animals and plants.
International SPA Association Endowment Fund
Murad continues to lead the way within the spa industry by supporting the ISPA
Endowment Fund.
The ISPA Endowment fund was created to provide a permanent resource for the growth and sustainability of the spa industry, focusing primarily on education and research.
Manhattan Beach Roundhouse, Center for Aquatic Education
Murad supports the Roundhouse with sponsorship of aquatic tanks and a unique
state-of-the-art microscope system to teach children the importance of the sea
life within our coastal waters.
The Roundhouse Marine Studies Lab & Aquarium strives to foster and promote the public study of, and interest in, the oceans, tidelands and beaches of Southern California, the marine life therein, and the impact of human population on that environment by teaching classes, both at the Roundhouse and off-site, and welcoming visitors into the Roundhouse during public hours.
Murad After-School Program
Murad supports education in the South Bay area through the Murad After-School
Program at The Jewish Community Center–Chabad of Beach Cities in
Redondo Beach.
This enriched, supervised after-school program is available every day after
school and is open to all children, kindergarten through sixth grade, in the South
Bay, California area. Buses pick children up from schools in Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach, and bring them to The Jewish Community Center–Chabad of Beach Cities in Redondo Beach. A broad spectrum of extracurricular activities including computer learning, arts, crafts, music, dance, team sports and games are offered, but only after homework is completed. There is tuition, but space permitting, no child is turned down. Those unable to afford The Murad After-School Program, as determined by the program director, will receive tuition assistance per the community center.
Vista Del Mar Childcare Center
For nearly 3 decades, Dr. Murad has supported Vista Del Mar providing free
medical care to children of all ages.
Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services is dedicated to the well-being
and care of children and families in Southern California who suffer the
emotional, physical, psychological and social consequences of abuse,
neglect and abandonment.
Dr. Howard Murad Research Grant
The Dr. Howard Murad Research Grant, through the International SPA Association Foundation, offers financial assistance to those conducting research that addresses Cultural Stress, its effects, and ways to manage it.
Employee Charity Day
Murad encourages its employees to give back to the community through the Employee Charity Day program. This program gives employees one paid day off a month to perform volunteer work for their charity of choice.
