A Season of Joy, Leadership, and Overflowing Generosity at I Am A Queen



This holiday season has been one of the most heartfelt and impactful in the history of I Am A Queen. What unfolded over the past several weeks reminded us of the power of community, the beauty of service, and the extraordinary generosity that surrounds our mission. From our girls stepping into leadership to donors exceeding every goal before them, this season showed us what compassion looks like in action.


Through our collective efforts, we were able to bless:

• 46 children

• 20 families

• 72 senior citizens


Each life touched represents a moment of hope, joy, and dignity made possible by people like you.


Girls Who Lead: Christmas Cheer with Senior Citizens

Our holiday outreach began with Christmas Cheer with Senior Citizens, a signature event that continues to grow in meaning each year. This year, our girls showed remarkable leadership as they welcomed seniors with bright smiles, served meals with care, distributed gifts, and engaged in heartfelt conversations that warmed every corner of the room.


Many seniors shared how rare it is to feel this level of love and attention during the holidays. For our girls, it was a hands-on lesson in empathy, confidence, and community service. For our seniors, it was a reminder that they matter deeply. This beautiful exchange affirmed our belief that when we empower young women, they uplift everyone around them.

Honoring a Loyal Partner: The DoubleTree Hotel

A significant part of our holiday success is due to the unwavering support of our partners. We are especially grateful to The DoubleTree Hotel, which has stood by I Am A Queen as a dedicated partner for 11 years.


From hosting toy drop-offs to welcoming families and volunteers, The DoubleTree has consistently opened its doors and heart to our mission. Their hospitality and continued belief in our vision have helped us serve children and families with excellence year after year.


Every Child Adopted: A Beautiful Achievement

Thanks to our extraordinary donors, all 46 children in our Ultimate Christmas Adoption Program were adopted this year. Because of your generosity, 20 families experienced joy on Christmas morning—complete with thoughtful gifts, fulfilled wish lists, and the reassurance that they were remembered during a difficult season.


This isn’t just gift-giving; it is restoring dignity, easing burdens, and bringing light to families who truly deserve a moment of joy.


Extra Toys, Extra Love, Extra Reach

Even after every child was adopted, our supporters continued to show up with remarkable generosity. Donors brought extra toys, allowing us to bless additional children, support siblings, and respond to last-minute needs across the community.

This overflow ensured that no child was left out and reminded us that compassion has no limits.



Santa Paws Campaign Surpasses Its Goal

Our charismatic Yorkie ambassador, Kanye, led this year’s Santa Paws Campaign—and once again, our community responded with overwhelming love.


Goal: $5,000

Total Raised: $6,214


These funds help provide holiday food boxes, toys, and special gifts for both children and seniors. The success of Santa Paws continues to be a joyful testament to what happens when creativity meets generosity.
