Virtual Monthly Growth Group
A Special Month!
May is a very special month for us... It's not only Sugar Bear's Birthday but we had the opportunity to form the Sugar Bear Foundation seven years ago this month in his honor. Help us celebrate both by supporting our work with Gold Star/Surviving Spouses and children. Our programs run completely on donations, grants, and fundraisers and we are incredibly grateful for all the support we receive. However, we are growing... in the number of families we are seeing throughout the United States and our program offerings. Help us to continue Sugar Bear's legacy of service while sustaining our programs and increasing our impact. Donate today and help us make a difference in honor of our hero!
Colonel Ken "Kid" Gardiner
Continued prayers for our good friends the Gardiner Family as they recently celebrated the life of Colonel Ken "Kid" Gardiner. We were honored to attend this special memorial that celebrated the life of their incredible hero, husband, father, and friend. It was a wonderful afternoon that paid tribute to his career and life. Family and friends gathered to share great stories and memories. Although he will be missed he will never be forgotten. Thank you to all who donated on his behalf to our mission. We are most grateful.
Lunch and Learn in Raleigh
