About Us
Founder- Crystal Winslow
I created this foundation for my legacy. Yeah, sounds vain but is it really. Ok, maybe, but I wanted to have something to leave to my kids, and something that will make a difference. So yeah, I can be vain for the aspect of my reasonings'.
When I am gone, I want this foundation to be standing and have a great solid base to continue on.

Honestly, the largest reason I started this foundation is because of my daughter and her experience in school recently. So last year my daughter was overcoming a lot of depression and social anxiety by joining some school groups like FCCLA & FBLA which are fancy Deca programs if you don't know what they are. Well, she was doing fabulous and even went to State in Spokane, then qualified for Nationals in San Diego! OMG proud parent moment till the school dropped the bomb and told us there was no school affiliate that would go, and the financial burden was placed upon us to send her and attend with her. Of course, as an all-American family we don't have $8,000.00 laying around to do this we sad fully had to explain to our child that it was just too much and no way we could.
She then inspired me and said, " can we start saving this year so I can go next year?"
So here we are, a fundraising foundation to help students go to their extra-curricular programs and ease some of the stress off of the families and having to say no. However, that does not mean we are tossing our thousands of dollars we are still a small foundation and can help with smaller ventures at this time like football cleats or gas card for traveling teams.
This foundation is in the process of finalizing its non-profit status but until then we are a fundraising organization and the funds raised will be distributed back into the community in forms of student scholarships. We target high school aged kids who are excelling and want to attend additional educational or sporting events.
Scholarships will begin in the winter quarter of 2022.
