MONAT Gratitude honors Canyon Lake woman

Canyon Lake’s Taylor Leigh has been recognized by MONAT Gratitude as a 2021-22 Gratitude Ambassador for her dedication to giving back to her community and her spirit of gratitude. Only 30 out of more than 400,000 Independent market partners globally are selected for this leadership role each year.

“Taylor is passionate about giving back to families in need and organizes a full week of philanthropic activities each year during the holidays,” Lu Urdaneta, MONAT Global chief culture officer and MONAT Gratitude CEO, said. “Last year, she raised enough money to supply four custom-made wheelchairs to families with special needs. She also hosted an event to raise awareness for human trafficking victims that was attended by hundreds of community members.

As a Gratitude Ambassador, Taylor will serve as a MONAT Gratitude liaison, sharing key information about the movement and inviting market partners to embrace the spirit of giving back, Lu said. She will also help shape the MONAT Gratitude mission by providing insight, sharing ideas, and participating in brainstorming events with the corporate team. Lastly, she said Taylor is responsible for organizing and leading MONAT Gratitude efforts in her community.

“MONAT Gratitude was founded on the belief that when we all embrace the spirit of giving back, we can make a positive impact,” Lu said. “Our Gratitude Ambassadors exemplify this idea, and we are so appreciative of their leadership, dedication and giving spirit. There is so much power in community and kindness, so I can’t wait to see the positive change this group of individuals will bring to their communities across the globe.”
