A DECADE OF PURPOSE. A LEGACY OF KINDNESS.

In honor of the Daisie Foundation’s 10-year anniversary, Celebrating 10 represents the Foundation’s largest anniversary initiative to date.

Over the course of 2026, the Foundation will surprise and honor 10 previously supported schools across Chicago, Houston, and Milwaukee by fulfilling principal-identified wishes that address each school’s most pressing needs. Every surprise is intentional, equitable, and reflective of the priorities identified by school leadership.

Celebrating 10 is not a single moment—it is a sustained commitment carried out across the entire year.

OUR ANNIVERSARY GOAL

To mark this extraordinary milestone, the Daisie Foundation will return to 10 Holiday Magic schools previously honored through our Holiday Magic Experiences. These schools were identified through a thoughtful, board-led process grounded in alignment with our mission and the lasting connection each school shares with our organization.

Through Celebrating 10, we will deliver Ten Surprises—each thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of every school community, ranging from meaningful upgrades to transformational gifts designed to create lasting impact.
