I am excited to share that we are officially launching our new Financial Assistance Program. This goes beyond a labor of love for me. It has been both an objective of our work and a personal goal of mine. There is a need for this type of assistance, and it should not be a surprise. We know many of our military families are struggling financially and I can assure you this scenario is only compounded with the death of the service member. Sugar Bear always told me if I had a problem to fix it! Not to wait for someone else to step up. So, we are putting his words into action.

We are also joining the Family Forever program in co-hosting a virtual workshop for Gold Star teens exploring college. We know this process is a bit more challenging now with COVID-19 and we are hoping to remove some of that stress. Additionally, with school starting, we want to remind our families that we still have funding from our amazing scholarship sponsor, RF-LAMBDA for online tutoring.

As always, if you would like to help us grow our mission, I encourage you to reach out to our Admin@thesugarbearfoundaiton.org. All of our programs, events, and services are dependent on the generous support we receive. Please know I am personally grateful as you all have enabled us to not only continue Sugar Bear's legacy of service but give back to the spouses and children who have given their all!

Thank you,
