Giving back to the community is important to Pink Ladders and we are proud to contribute to two amazing non-profit organizations that personally touch the founder’s heart. Pink Ladders gives a percentage of all profits to both organizations.
Enchanted Makeovers
Enchanted Makeovers is an internationally recognized 501(c)3 non-profit which operates as an all volunteer and no salaries organization. Our mission is to shift the paradigm of giving, and change the way we see each other, by working together in shelters to heal our hearts and uplift our spirits. Enchanted Makeovers works with a shelter for women and children through their many unique projects and programs. We transform physical shelter spaces into whimsical cottage retreat centers for women and children. We go into shelters to nurture the human connection, to transform the shelter into places where women and children can thrive, where dreams and hope can live. A common thread connects us all, and together, through the gift of time, donations and love we can create a culture of hope and worthiness.
Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America is a nonprofit organization founded to continue and expand the annual wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery and other locations around the country. This tradition began by a Maine businessman, Morrill Worcester, in 1992. Our mission, Remember, Honor, Teach,is carried out in part by coordinating wreath laying ceremonies on the second Saturday of December at Arlington, as well as veterans’ cemeteries in all 50 states. Wreaths Across America needs your help to reach their goal of placing 500,000 wreaths on veterans graves. And every time you honor our veterans and active military, you are also honoring their families and preparing a new generation to appreciate our freedoms. You can sponsor a wreath here.
A tribute to William
Senior Airman William N. Newman
Senior Airman William N. Newman, 23, became a casualty of Operation Iraqi Freedom on June 7, 2007. William joined the Air Force as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technician. He knew it was a job that would require great skill and technique, but his training for this job taught him how to be the best he could be at disarming bombs. In the event of not being able to use robotic equipment to disarm bombs, they were trained how to perform this function with the least amount of risk to themselves and others.
He left his hometown of Kingston Springs, Tennessee for Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii and was stationed there until his departure to Iraq. William was looking forward to being able to use his training in Iraq to help save the lives of soldiers and civilians. It was on his 200th EOD mission of disarming bombs that took Williams’ life. On this day the robotic device typically used for disarming bombs could not be used. The EOD team performed all the steps necessary to disarm the bomb and remove it from the premises so the parts could not be used for another roadside bomb. 
William was directly positioned over the bomb while in the process of removing the pieces when it unexpectedly detonated. His body absorbed the impact of the bomb sparing the lives of other military personnel. William was a kind, caring and thoughtful young man and respected by his family and his peers. The EOD facility located on Hickam Air Force Base was dedicated and named in his honor one year after his death; June 7, 2008.
