Foundress & Illuminate

A Partnership Between Foundress & Lighthouse For Hope

Invest in the healing of young women who have faced the unimaginable.

What Is Illuminate?

The Illuminate Retreat is a week-long healing experience for young women ages 18-26 who have faced childhood cancer or a life-threatening blood disorder. It is a space where they can exhale, connect with others who understand their journey, and begin to imagine what their lives can look like on the other side of treatment.

This October, for the first time, Illuminate is coming home to Arizona! We will gather October 5-11 in Scottsdale for a week that will change the lives of 10 incredible young women.

The Opportunity

Many of the young women who attend Illuminate are stepping into the world for the first time after years of treatment. They are navigating career decisions, identity, relationships, and an uncertain future, all while carrying a story that most people their age cannot begin to understand.

Foundress members know what it means to build something from nothing. To push through fear. To figure out who you are in the middle of the hard stuff.

That makes this community uniquely positioned to walk alongside these young women in a way that few others can.

The Lighthouse Circle

We are inviting Foundress members to become part of The Lighthouse Circle, a group of sponsors who will invest in the lives of young women who have faced cancer.

Lighthouse Circle sponsors at the $1,000 level and above will be invited to our exclusive panel dinner event on October 6th in Scottsdale, where they will meet our Illuminate attendees in person and these young women will have the opportunity to ask them questions about their careers, their paths, and what it took to get here.

This is not just a donation. This is a relationship.
