Equipped for Success Program
Girlfriends Christmas, Inc., a longstanding supporter of community-based initiatives, has announced a significant shift in its philanthropic mission. The organization will now concentrate its efforts on launching the Equipped for Success Program, a new initiative aimed at empowering underserved high school, college, and trade school students.
The Equipped for Success Program will provide students with essential tools for academic and career achievement, including school supplies, technology, scholarships, college and trade school readiness resources, and confidence-building programs.
“This isn’t just a shift—it’s an investment in the future,” said Jene' Cash, Executive Director. “We’re committed to removing barriers and helping students realize their full potential.”
