After 10 incredible years of serving our military community through The Stano Foundation, I am writing to share a difficult decision. With a heavy heart, I must announce that we will be closing the nonprofit.
This journey has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Together, we’ve made an extraordinary impact—changing lives, offering support, and standing by those who’ve given so much for our country. Your generosity and unwavering support have been the driving force behind everything we’ve accomplished.
However, balancing the demands of my work and the needs of the organization has become more challenging than I can manage alone. While this chapter is coming to an end, the difference we’ve made together will continue to inspire and resonate in the lives of those we’ve touched.
I want to assure you that the remaining funds in our account will continue to honor our mission. These resources will be distributed to other local organizations and initiatives that support our veterans and military families. In this way, your generosity will keep making a meaningful difference in our community.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for believing in our mission, for showing up, and for being part of a community that truly cares. Please know your contributions—whether time, donations, or encouragement—have left an enduring legacy.
Together, we’ve done something extraordinary, and I am forever grateful to each and every one of you.
Paula Stano
President
