The Sarah Shulze Foundation (SSF) was highlighted at a recent event hosted by the Conejo Valley Chapter of the National Charity League (NCL). NCL hosted its annual Modelette event on Sunday, March 10 at the Hyatt Regency in Westlake Village. Modelette is a time-honored tradition in the Conejo Valley chapter that began in 1974. As the program has evolved over the decades, the event now provides an opportunity for the daughters to develop poise, public speaking skills and an opportunity to give back to our community.
This year's theme "Light it Up" involved members of the sophomore and senior classes delivering speeches, articulating what in their life lights them up, including a favorite philanthropic partner, as well as how they seek to help others shine throughout their lives. The girls spoke about their passion for giving back to their community and the joy they felt during their time spent volunteering, prompting many to emphasize a future of service they wish to continue.
With both Sarah and Brigitte having been cherished members of the Conejo Valley Chapter of NCL, the choice to spotlight the SSF was an easy one. Advocating for mental health for student athletes, Sarah's parents, Brigitte and Scott Shulze, were recognized for their advocacy and funds were raised for SSF at the NCL event. Brigitte gave a moving speech, reminding attendees to protect their mental health and that of family and friends. Scott and Brigitte regularly visit college, high school and club teams to share mental health and wellness tips. SSF has a green ribbon program for teams, to display their dedication to mental health. If you are interested in having them speak to your team, please message them via email at contact@sarahshulzefoundation.org or Instagram @sarahshulzefoundation.
