Glamming the Warrior Campaign
Our mission:
At Glamming the Warrior, our mission is to rein-still confidence and self esteem and raise much needed recognition of the troubles that cancer patients go through. The main aim of this campaign is to recognize the warriors that fight every day to beat cancer and play a part in boosting their confidence so that their fight does not go unnoticed.
This year is the 2nd annual Glamming the Warrior campaign which is a movement to recognize the strength and commitment of the women and men in our community who are diagnosed with cancer.
In a study by The Mental Health foundation based in the United Kingdom, researchers found that cancer patients suffering from depression have been linked to a 50% increase in mortality rates. However, numerous group-based psychosocial interventions over the past decades consistently found that when perception of attractiveness was improved, the symptoms of depression and anxiety were immediately decreased with stability of improvements on psychological outcome. Additionally, evidence from a research fellow at Harvard School of Public Health’s Department of Society, Human Development and Health concluded that the most optimistic of patients suffering from terminal illness had approximately 50% less risk of mortality.
Therefore, in collaboration with several other local businesses in Jersey City and the surrounding areas, we are offering a wellness makeover giveaway worth over $6,500 to three cancer patients and/or survivors (warriors) with the aim of re-instilling their feeling of self-confidence and improve their quality of life and their treatment’s effectiveness.
In January 2023, the grand prize VIP honorees will receive a wellness makeover that consist of: (where applicable) a full set of lash extensions or magnetic strip lashes, brow maintenance, custom formulated mineral lip stain, wardrobe styling experience, nail services, hair, makeup, massage, facial, acupuncture, and a professional photoshoot to reignite the confidence of our warriors and a videographer to capture the whole experience for the day. Followed by Gala event on February 3, 2023, honoring the VIP honorees and nominees.
This campaign started in 2021 by The Lash Gallery, with the overwhelming response and support from the community during the 2021 campaign it was necessary to expand. The Lash Gallery recently registered Glamming The Warrior as Nonprofit and has recently submitted an application for 501(c)(3) public charity status and that its 501(c)(3) status is currently “pending” and awaiting approval from the IRS and will follow up to inform the donor whether or not 501(c)(3) public charity status has been approved. Meanwhile, Global Charity Partners a Nonprofit 501(c)3 is our fiscal agent and community partner during this time.
