Happy Spring! We hope you are enjoying the sunshine (and also the rain, because it never seems to stop!)  A big thank you to all of those who took part in our spring Paint & Sip! It was a wonderful evening and we are now closer to reaching our goal of buying a building. You can view the photo of our event below. 

All of us here at Be the Magic are so ready for summer! We hope you are too and will join us for our brat fry fundraisers by volunteering your time or purchasing a meal! Our brat frys will be held at the Festival Brat Barn in Neenah, WI. Look for us on June 12, July 31, and August 28. 

We are currently working with Ian of Berners Schober to design our future building. Shown below is the updated floor plan for our future building. We are excited to be one step closer to our goal.

You can now donate to Be the Magic every time you shop. It's as easy as selecting Be the Magic as your charity for Amazon Smile. With every purchase made, Amazon will donate a portion of it to your chosen charity. You can find the link here

 Our T-shirts are still available. With twelve colors to choose from, it's easy to support and represent a young woman in need. We now have sweatshirts and 37 other items available as well! Visit our shop to order now!

The Neenah/Menasha Fire Department recently hosted a car safety and maintenance class for some of the youth Be the Magic is helping to shape the lives of. A survey we conducted with the youth revealed that these young women want to to better their lives, but do not have the resources to do so. This is where Be the Magic is ready to step in. Basic fundamentals like car maintenance, opening a bank account, and preparing meals are just some of the functions we will guide our patrons through.

A big thank you to the WIN women’s group of Plexus for volunteering to run the Brat Stand at our July 31st Brat Fry. If you have a group of nine people and would like to volunteer a day to run the Brat Stand email Stephanie  to set up a day. All you need is a group of nine people (everyone wears close toed shoes and a cap or hair covering), and then show up for your shift. We will have everything ready and show you what to do when you arrive, it’s super easy.

Be the Magic is happy to say we are S.A.F.E trained to not only understand the LBGTQI+ community better, but to be a better ally. We aim to be inclusive and are working toward the best ways we can achieve this.
