Sierra Vista High School in Las Vegas does it agai

Sierra Vista High School in Las Vegas does it again! “Mr. Mountain Lion was another wonderful senior spirit event - and seven awesome contestants raised $1000 for Gwendolyn’s Playground!
Mr. Charitable, my big-hearted student named Maurice, raised $250 on his own, and was also crowned Mr. Mountain Lion 2023. There was also a “miracle minute” at the show this year - and students sharing Gwendolyn’s story at their places of work and gathering donations outside of school. Love these young people.” 💜Over the last decade, the Sierra Vista community has supported the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation in a variety of ways, sharing Gwendolyn’s story, writing to Congress in support of SMA legislation, helping to fund research for the treatments that are now FDA approved, and helping to build an inclusive playground in Gwendolyn’s name that is not even in their State. They’ve rallied around us because they adore their wonderful teacher, Mrs Foglia.

Mrs Foglia is a dear, dear friend - we attended each others weddings, were pregnant with our firsts together, and our babies loved each other so much (swipe to see pictures). Even though they didn’t live near us, the Foglia family never stopped rallying around us and Mrs Foglia took the opportunity to teach her students real world empathy, philanthropy, and advocacy. This fun spirit week has become a powerful example that each of us can make a difference.

I’m so thrilled to share that because of their fundraising and longtime commitment, Sierra Vista High School will permanently be recognized at Gwendolyn’s Playground with a butterfly plaque. 🦋 We each have the power to do something… and it can impact so many beyond ourselves. 🌈💜🍄🌟🦋

Celebrating their friend. Disability isn’t sad or bad and the tools the disabled use (wheelchairs, prosthetics, walkers, breathing machines…) are opportunities! For independence, for freedom, for joy, for life. Children see differences as simply part of life - until they are taught to pity or fear.

I am so summer ready! Our hats, totes and tees mak

Women are the heart, soul and backbone of the Gwen

Women are the heart, soul and backbone of the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation. Our entire Advisory Board is made up of smart, dynamic, creative, go-getters and I’m so very grateful to have them in my life. So many have mothered with me from the first moments I became a mom and helped as Gwendolyn demanded to be part of the world. Others I met when I was at my lowest, filled with grief after Gwendolyn’s death, and still trying to find my way. I was pregnant with Willa when we launched the capital campaign for @gwendolynsplayground — and it was having other women by my side that gave me the confidence to pursue this dream. I’ve cried with them, laughed with them, stressed with them… as we’ve cheered each other on through life. What a blessing it is to have a village. And I am so grateful they believe in me and the vision of a more inclusion future! 🦋💜🌈🍄
