The Impact so far

Since its establishment, Katrina's Sparkle has distributed nearly $150,000 to charitable causes and community initiatives aligned with Katrina's purpose and values.

These contributions have supported family safety, youth development, education, social justice, community wellbeing and health-related causes.

Now, we are focused on securing the future of that impact by building a sustainable fund that will continue supporting communities for generations to come.
