What does The Stay Beautiful Foundation do?

The Stay Beautiful Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 2016 by Ashleigh Cortes. Inspired by her grandmother, the foundation focuses on supporting women affected by cancer through beauty and wellness initiatives. Its mission is to help women feel motivated and beautiful during their medical treatments, promoting the idea of "glowing through what they go through." The foundation provides quarterly clean beauty boxes filled with all-natural, chemical-free beauty and skincare products to women undergoing cancer treatment. It currently serves over 2,000 women with monthly subscriptions. In addition to product delivery, the foundation offers education on safe skincare practices during chemotherapy and radiation, along with peer-to-peer community support and patient navigation services. The Stay Beautiful Foundation operates through donations and partnerships with clean beauty brands, ensuring that all beauty boxes are delivered free of charge to recipients.
