The Adrienne Small Foundation

This is one of the hardest announcements I’ve had to make.

After seven incredible years of serving young women through Girlpreneur Beauty Camp, we will not be hosting camp this summer.

The facility partnership that allowed us to host camp over the last five years is no longer available, and the cost of securing it for the week or a comparable venue exceeds $10,000, an expense our nonprofit is not currently able to absorb.

While we’re disappointed, we’re not defeated.

Our mission remains the same: to provide education, mentorship, resources, and opportunities for future beauty professionals. This year may look different, but our commitment to the girls we serve has not changed.

Thank you to every family, volunteer, educator, sponsor, donor, and supporter who has been part of this journey. Because of you, hundreds of young women have been exposed to careers in the beauty industry and encouraged to dream bigger in ways no one else has done!

We appreciate your support and look forward to sharing what’s next! ✨
