The Sweetest Sugar & Stilettos News EVER!

So much EXCITING, AMAZING news in the world of Sugar & Stilettos!

1. We now have a fiscal sponsor…resting comfortably under the umbrella of Kent Seton's Edward Charles Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, Federal ID#26-4245043. As a result we are now called the Sugar & Stilettos Charitable Foundation and are now allowed to reach out to corporations and family foundations for sponsorships/donations among many other privileges. Kent is an attorney and leader in the non-profit world so we are SO BLESSED to be in his universe of philanthropy activists.

2. Joshua and his friend, Aili David, have begun a CrowdRise fundraiser called the Sugar & Stilettos Teen Holiday Challenge with a goal of raising $5,000.00 between Oct. 15th-Dec. 15th to raise awareness for the issue of hunger and food insecurity but more importantly to provide as  many holiday meals as possible for women and children in our community who are suffering. Donations can be for as little as $10.00 plus anyone who donates at least $50.00 will have the chance to win a $100.00 Starbuck's gift card in our Special Drawing at the end of the campaign.

Please, please, pretty please with sugar on top (and lots of it!) support Joshua and Aili in their campaign! If you have a teenager/college student/young adult in your life, engage them in the campaign so that they might realize the power they have, even at a young age, to make a difference in the world…

The Fourth Annual Sugar & Stilettos Bake Sale Extravaganza for Charity FINALE 2014…Beyond Incredible!

Well, here is the extremely "Sweet Skinny' on the event...if you missed it…OOH LA LA…I feel sad for you because it was an INSANE BLAST! Swishes of pink, tiaras and stilettos everywhere, people laughing, dancing, having their faces painted, getting crazy balloon animals made, dancing and eating delicious treats, a overall sense of well being and unbridled joy…plus the sun was shining with a light breeze wafting through my garden and trees...absolute heaven!

1. To date we have raised $30,000.00 with checks and online donations still being accepted (See #6). The total for the combined four years of bake sales is now over $60,000.00…amazing what a community can do together…OOH LA LA again!

2. That money ($15,000.00 each to the Westside Food Bank and St. Joseph Center's Food Pantry Program) translates into 60,000 meals at WFB and almost 2,000 bags of groceries at SJC…literally feeding thousands of women and children in need…makes me weep with joy and puff up with pride like a peacock…

3. The Mr. Sugar & Stilettos 2014 Crowning Ceremony was the BOMB…Richard Lewis and Paul DiMeo in hysterical video appearances plus Steven Weber passing the tiara, beauty queen sash and pink blinged out stilettos on to Mr. Sugar & Stilettos 2014 Bradley Whitford…hilarious video will be up very soon so keep checking the website…thank you Casey Neidorf and Gabrieal Griego for your inspiring work!

Happy New Year 2014!!!

Well, first off I have to apologize…it has been WAY TOO LONG since I have written a blog…last June to be exact. I am really, so, so sorry but life just intervened and carried me away to other things…like traveling, family/friend's illnesses, writing/working on my new play and then sometimes just plain exhaustion or laziness. What's that saying…life happens while you are off making plans…or something like that.

Anyway, here we are back together again and let me be, while not the first at this late date, but at least not the last, to add my voice to the chorus of those wishing you a very Happy New Year…may it only be filled with an abundance of good health, joy, love, laughter and of course, A LOT of sweet, sugary treats!

Great news for those of you who don't know this yet…The Fourth Annual SUGAR & STILETTOS Bake Sale Extravaganza for Charity once again benefitting the Westside Food Bank And St. Joseph Center;s Food Pantry program will be on Saturday, May 10, 2014/11am-3pm…the day before Mother's Day…so plan to do all your Mother's cake/cookie/candy shopping, no to mention gift shopping and having a blast, with us…all the while helping to feed other mothers and their children suffering from hunger and food insecurity…what a glorious win/win Mother's Day celebration for all!

Also, get over to the front page of this website ASAP (see link above) to see the hilarious Mr. S & S Crowning Ceremony video…it will make your day so much brighter and lighter that you'll feel compelled to forward it on/tell all your friends and family immediately!  Later this week we will  post the brilliant PR video from 2013…so worth your time too... ENJOY…xoxo Nanci
