What does it really mean to be a partner? 🤝

Not a logo on a step-and-repeat.

Not a line item in a sponsorship deck.

Something closer to a relationship — one that shows up, again and again, in the places that matter.

That's what we've learned over ten years of working alongside the people and companies who choose to stand with Daisie Foundation.

It starts with belonging.

Our partners don't just fund the work — they become part of it.
Woven into the memories, the milestones, the programs that make this foundation what it is.

It continues with visibility — not the kind that comes with a banner, but the kind that comes from actually seeing the people your support reaches.

A classroom.

A family.

A child's experience they'll remember for years.

It's never one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand what matters to each partner, then find real ways to connect that support to our mission — because partnership built on understanding lasts longer than partnership built on paperwork.

And it goes both ways.

We show up for our partners the way we ask them to show up for us — celebrating their support, telling their stories, making sure gratitude isn't just a formality.

Because a single "yes" can become someone else's opportunity.

A program.

An open door.

A memory a family carries for years.

Ten years in, we don't just see events or campaigns when we look back.

We see relationships. Lives touched. Communities strengthened by people who chose to believe in this mission with us.

That's what partnership means to us.

“We love a foundation that leads with heart.” 💜

Those heartfelt words from our longtime partner, Angela Reed of Banana Republic Factory, beautifully capture what makes the Daisie Foundation so special.

During our Celebrating 10 Birthday Toast, Angela reflected on why she loves being part of the Daisie Foundation—celebrating the accomplished women and incredible staff behind the organization, but most importantly, the heart that leads the work.

As Angela shared, it’s not just about the who, the what, or the how. It’s about how much we can do—and how much more we can do together. 💜

Thank you, Angela, for believing in Daisie, supporting our mission, and being part of so many meaningful memories throughout the years. We’re grateful to have Banana Republic Factory alongside us on this journey.

𝐓𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬. 𝐓𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬. 𝐓𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬. ✨

As we celebrate 10 years of impact, we're giving back to the communities that have been part of our journey from the very beginning.

Through our Celebrating 10 Campaign, we're returning to 10 Holiday Magic schools across Chicago, Houston, and Milwaukee to fulfill their most pressing needs and create new memories for the students we serve.

Today, we're shining the spotlight on Albert Thomas Middle School in Houston. 💙

Every student deserves the opportunity to dream big, feel supported, and know their community believes in them. That's exactly what Celebrating 10 is all about—turning hope into action and making sure every school knows they haven't been forgotten.

💛 How you can help: Every gift to the Celebrating 10 Campaign directly supports the surprises and resources we're bringing to Albert Thomas Middle School and the nine other schools we're honoring this year.

Together, let's turn "I wish" into "We can."

"The Daisie Foundation set out to prove that kindness could be a mission, not just a moment."

Those powerful words from our longtime partner, Jill Novak of Shiraleah, beautifully capture what the last 10 years have been all about.

Today, we celebrated more than an anniversary—we celebrated 10 years of hope, impact, partnership, and the incredible people who have walked alongside us every step of the way.

As our inspiration, Daisie Robinson, always reminded us:

"𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹𝒀 𝑫𝑨𝒀 𝑰𝑺 𝑨𝑵 𝑨𝑾𝑬𝑺𝑶𝑴𝑬 𝑫𝑨𝒀! 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑮𝑶𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑻𝑶 𝑫𝑶 𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑯 𝑰𝑻?"

That simple question has inspired our mission from the very beginning, and last night was a beautiful reminder of what can happen when a community chooses to make every day count.

To our Daisie Board Sisters, thank you for your leadership, your vision, and your unwavering commitment to our mission.

To our incredible Celebrating 10 Steering Committee, thank you for the countless hours, creative ideas, planning meetings, and behind-the-scenes work that brought this celebration to life.

Your generosity, encouragement, and partnership have helped us impact thousands of women, children, families, and communities across Chicago, Houston, and Milwaukee.

And finally...

To everyone who joined us today—thank you for celebrating this milestone with us. Seeing so many familiar faces, reconnecting with longtime friends, and welcoming new supporters reminded us exactly why we do this work.

Ten years is a remarkable milestone, but this is only the beginning.

🌼 7 DAYS TO GO! 🎉

As we count down to Daisie Foundation's 10th Birthday, today we're celebrating the incredible people who have made every event, every initiative, and every memory possible—our volunteers. 💜

For the past 10 years, you've shown up with open hearts and helping hands. You've welcomed guests, packed gifts, decorated spaces, encouraged families, supported our team, and reminded our communities that kindness is powerful.

Volunteering at Daisie isn't just about giving your time. It's about becoming part of something bigger. It's about building connections, creating unforgettable experiences, and leaving every event knowing you helped make someone's day a little brighter.

To every volunteer who has served alongside us over the last decade—thank you. You are an essential part of our story, and this celebration belongs to you just as much as it belongs to us.

Here's to 10 years of impact, community, and countless memories... and we're just getting started. 🌼

💜 We'd love to hear from you! If you've volunteered with Daisie Foundation, share your favorite memory in the comments or tag someone you volunteered alongside.

✨ Why Daisie? ✨

For Kandice, Daisie is more than an organization—it's a lifeline for women and children who need hope, encouragement, and a community that believes in them. 💖

"Daisie is the foundation of life for so many women and children in need! I take immense pride in doing the work for this reason, and because of Daisie, I am blessed to be a blessing to someone else."

Those words capture the heart of what the Daisie Foundation has been about for the past 10 years. Every act of kindness, every volunteer, every partnership, and every life touched creates a ripple that reaches far beyond what we can see.

As we celebrate a decade of impact, we're incredibly grateful for leaders like Kandice, who remind us that the greatest gift isn't just receiving a blessing—it's becoming one for someone else.
