Introducing the Strength & Sparkle Foundation

The Strength & Sparkle Foundation was created to formalize the work we’ve already been doing—showing up for women, women veterans, and families in real, tangible ways. What started as community-driven giving through personal effort has now grown into a nonprofit foundation built for sustainability, collaboration, and deeper impact.

One of our earliest initiatives, Mrs. Claus for a Cause, made a powerful impression. On paper, the program impacted 395 women, families, and children this 2025 Holiday Season—but in reality, that number exceeded 400+. Those numbers represent real moments: smiles, relief, joy, and support during the holiday season when it’s needed most.

Looking ahead, we’re preparing for our Journaling for Women Veterans initiative at the end of January 2026. This program will focus on mental health education, self-care, and mindfulness—areas women veterans often put last while taking care of everyone else. We believe this work matters, and we’re committed to creating

accessible, supportive spaces where women veterans can pause, reflect, and reset.

👉 Please consider donating to help sponsor women veterans for mental health education and self-care. As women, we often neglect these needs—and your support helps change that.
