My Pampered Chef Consultant journey will help me routinely support charities and share high quality kitchen products with you! My Pampered Chef Consultant journey will help me prepare for retirement to have a business that will provide monthly income to supplement my savings and Social Security. The “Purpose” part of my business is to donate a portion of my proceeds per show to a charity of the ho
st’s choice. If they do not have a preference, the charities I regularly support include:
Midwest Boston Terrier Rescue –
https://midwestbtrescue.org/
This group has given me 2 Boston Terriers that have brought me joy, snuggles, and cold wet noses over the years. He was the best dog, and I miss him terribly. I adopted Pablo in December 2022 and he’s spunky, goofy, and sweet as pie. This group does great work, and I like to support their continued efforts. And Bostons are so damn cute! Black Girls Code -
https://www.wearebgc.org/
Since 2011, Black Girls Code has supported girls of color in tech through coding education and more. They partner with schools and organizations to offer a range of programs, both in-person and virtual, for ages 7-25. Their initiatives go beyond coding to build confidence and connections, enhancing technical skills, community bonds, and career paths. I support those who support women, especially in STEM roles. Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation –
https://www.komen.org/
Their mission is to save lives by meeting the most critical needs in our communities and investing in breakthrough research to prevent and cure breast cancer. As a woman, this is a no-brainer for me to be concerned with and involved in. Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research –
https://www.michaeljfox.org/
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease through an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. Lymphoma & Leukemia Society –
https://www.lls.org/
The LLS mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. LLS is at the forefront of the fight to cure cancer. Compared to other blood cancer nonprofits, LLS is the largest funder of cutting-edge research to advance cures. I participated in a Century Ride (100 Mile Bike Ride) in Tucson, AZ in 1997 to raise money for LLS. Rigby, our first Boston Terrier, passed because of Lymphoma. Alzheimer’s Association –
https://www.alz.org/
The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. I would love a world that does not include Alzheimer’s Disease. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
