Mission Statement:
Our mission is to empower youth to lead healthy, purpose-driven lives by providing education, mentorship, and positive community engagement. We are dedicated to preventing drug and alcohol use through early intervention, skill-building, and fostering a strong sense of self-worth, resilience, and belonging. By creating safe spaces and meaningful opportunities, we inspire young people to make choices that strengthen their futures and contribute to a thriving, drug-free community. We are Safe Haven Beautiful.
Our Methods
Throughout Arizona, many rural and underserved communities lack the youth support and prevention programs that larger cities often have. While cities like Phoenix benefit from numerous resources and sponsorships, smaller communities such as Eloy face significant gaps in access and outreach. Our mission is to bridge this divide by stepping directly into these underserved areas with sustainable, community-driven solutions.
Although various programs and sponsorships exist, few organizations are actively connecting donors from urban centers with rural communities in need. Safe Haven Beautiful aims to fill this critical gap by fostering partnerships and channeling resources where they matter most.
Resources and Partnerships We Are Exploring:
- Little Caesars Fundraising: Community members purchase pizza, and a portion of proceeds is contributed directly to our community fund to support local initiatives.
- Raising Cane’s Fundraising: Similar to Little Caesars, a percentage of sales from Raising Cane’s purchases will be allocated to our community fund.
- Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino Resort Sponsorship: The founder of Safe Haven Beautiful, a dedicated marathon runner, will personally contribute sponsorship funds secured through this partnership to enhance local programs.
- Arizona Cardinals Cleat Donation Program: We will manage the application, pickup, and distribution of cleats donated by the Arizona Cardinals to schools in rural Arizona, ensuring efficient delivery and record-keeping.
- Botvin LifeSkills Training (LST): We plan to introduce this evidence-based substance use prevention program, developed by expert Dr. Gilbert J. Botvin, to rural schools by bringing in trained providers to empower youth with vital life skills.
- Arizona Family Reunion: Hosted annually in Eloy, AZ, this open community event will offer food, music, and activities designed to foster unity and cooperation among families across the region.
Safe Haven Beautiful is a grass-roots community based organization. As a member of that community, if you have ideas or suggestions you would like for us to have on our radar, please do not hesitate to drop us a comment or connect with us through social media.
