This Tuesday, December 1st is Giving Tuesday - A day that focuses on supporting various causes and organizations. We hope you will consider The Sugar Bear Foundation when making donations.
You can see a list of our programs and opportunities below which illustrates our work and commitment to Gold Star spouses and children. Our programs and services focus on career, educational, and financial initiatives. We do so because these were areas that Sugar Bear deemed as vital for the Marines and Sailors he served alongside and because they are needed. We consider our educational and career opportunities to be building blocks to an individual’s future. A game-changer if you will. They can literally transform the course of a Gold Star spouse or child’s life and we are working to extend these opportunities.
Four months ago, we launched our Financial Assistance Program for Gold Star spouses. Since its inception, we have paid medical bills, rent, car repairs, and power bills to mention a few. We continue to receive inquiries from spouses in need and we are dependent upon the grants and donations we receive to support this and our other programs.
I would like to take this opportunity to also say thank you for the incredible support we have received. I personally feel blessed and grateful for the opportunities we are gaining to give back to these deserving families. I know Sugar Bear would share my sentiments. As always, please reach out if you have an idea or would simply like to get involved. All assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Jennifer Carazo,
Chairman and Gold Star wife
