February and Love

February is known as the month of love, and we adore all that we are working on this month in support of our families. We will soon be launching a new page and program with our scholarship sponsor for Gold Star students. Both will provide academic support as well as virtual opportunities.  Additionally, we are preparing to launch a page solely for our spouses that will provide further insight and assistance geared towards supporting them in a variety of areas such as with their career endeavors and benefits. These opportunities are needed for our families as they find their new footing in life and plan for their future. A wonderful example is seen with our recent Coaching Scholarship Recipient, Erica Brophy. I hope you will read Erica’s story and how she is giving back to our community.

We are also, thrilled to share our new Ambassador Program in conjunction with Sugar Bear’s Virtual Memorial Run. This new program and event are especially important to me because both will help us grow our mission, impact our families, and support Marines and I know Sugar Bear would love that!  We hope you will reach out to Admin@thesugarbearfoundation.org if you would like to take part in the Ambassador Program or provide another means of support.

As always, I appreciate you taking the time to read about our work, the Gold Star community, and letting us share the life of our hero.

Thank you,

Jennifer Carazo
