Dear friends and family,
As most of you are aware, we owe this happy occasion to our dear friends Stacey Fleece and PJ and Samantha Tradelius who conspired to send us on a blind date in February 2023. This was not their first good deed.
In fact, you may also know that Samantha and Stacey are devoted stewards of Sparkle Foundation, Inc., a non-profit Samantha founded years ago to assist and enrich the lives of single mothers and their children. For these reasons, and because all we need is love, we are asking that in lieu of gifts, you consider making a contribution to Sparkle.
Even small contributions go a long way, since Sparkle is run by a 100% volunteer staff. Donations to Sparkle fund initiatives like providing kids with new backpacks and supplies for school, scholarships for after school sports and music, and bringing joy to single moms and their families during the holidays.
Thank you!
Very truly yours,
Vince and Jean
About Sparkle Foundation
If you want to know what it means to Sparkle, you must experience it for yourself. It’s not just something we do; it’s part of who we are. The energy and commitment we bring to our communities are palpable. Step into any space where we are in our zone, and you won’t be able to resist the urge to get involved. The Sparkle Foundation’s mission is to make sure women and children have a Sparkle in their eyes. We help women because women rarely ask for help. We help children because they are many times victims of circumstances. We do this alongside our communities, and we make magical things happen.
Every dollar, every donation, and every hour of heart and soul poured into Sparkle is amplified by our mission and sent directly to the families we support. We are different in this way as 100% of donations go to the women and children we personally select. We make a difference. We create opportunities. We give hope and demonstrate what’s possible when women work together. We mentor. We advise. We give. And when we think we have nothing left, we provide more, and we do so with a deep sense of purpose, responsibility, humility, impact, and commitment to the women we serve.
You can be a part of all of this and truly Sparkle.
