Through Project Glimmer’s Empowerment Academy and Empower Hours, she developed the confidence, presentation skills, and mentorship support to pursue a career in beauty marketing. 💬 “Project Glimmer exposed me to real-world professionals and opportunities. It helped me recognize my own potential and gave me the courage to pursue a career in beauty marketing.” Her story exemplifies the power of investing in young women -and the ripple effect of confidence, mentorship, and opportunity.

✨ SOLD OUT! ✨ Project Glimmer’s Annual Benefit 2025 is officially at capacity and we’re deeply grateful to everyone joining us to celebrate and amplify our mission. But it doesn’t stop here! Shine Forward is more than just words-it’s a call to action, a mindset, and a promise. It means recognizing the light in every girl we serve and helping her carry it into the future with confidence, purpose, and pride. 🌟 Since 2010 we see that light shine in every Empower Hour, every coaching session, every Academy milestone. We watched young people speak up, ask questions, take risks, and envision futures they hadn’t dared to imagine. 💗 Shine Forward honors that courage. It’s about momentum- taking what’s been ignited and helping it grow. It’s about legacy- knowing that when one girl shines, she lights the way for others. It’s about community- mentors, partners, and peers walking beside her, cheering her on. For Project Glimmer, Shine Forward means: • Continuing to show up with programs that meet girls where they are • Creating spaces where confidence is built, not assumed • Offering tools that turn dreams into plans • And celebrating every step forward-no matter how small Still want to get involved?

In 2024, we rallied around a powerful call to action: See It. Believe It. Be It. And thousands of youth across the country did just that - through Empower Hours, Empowerment Academy, and Career Coaching, they saw new possibilities, believed in their potential, and stepped into bold. ✨ Now, we’re building on that momentum with 🌟Shine Forward🌟because when one girl shines, she lights the way for others. That ripple effect is what drives our mission. It’s how confidence becomes community, and how possibility turns into progress. As we prepare for our Annual Benefit Gala, Boxing Joy Day, and Holiday Magic, we’re reflecting not only on the impact we’ve made - but on the power of partnership. This work is possible because of the mentors, companies, and communities who stand beside us, investing in the next generation of leaders. 💗 Thank you for helping us Shine Forward. We look forward to celebrating with you - and continuing to create meaningful change, together. . . . #ShineForward #ProjectGlimmer #YouthLeadership #CorporateSocialImpact #MentorshipMatters #BoxingJoy #HolidayMagic #LeadershipDevelopment #WomenEmpoweringGirls Chrissy Shea Bianca Gates Danna Rengifo
