At W Cosmetics, we believe beauty goes beyond skin deep. It's about empowering each other, building a supportive community, and using our success to create meaningful change. That’s why we were beyond thrilled to be an official sponsor for the Shelices Angels Inaugural Scholarship Gala, a night that celebrated everything we stand for.

The Shelices Angels organization, founded in 2019 by Indianapolis Colts 2025 Pro Bowl Linebacker Zaire Franklin, is on a mission to empower young women in our communities. Through education, mentorship, and resources, Shelices Angels helps these young women turn their passions into meaningful action, setting them on a path toward leadership and success. We’re proud to be part of such an incredible cause that focuses on uplifting the next generation of trailblazers.

This special evening brought together some of the most influential entrepreneurs and thought leaders in the country—all united in their desire to give back. The gala wasn’t just a night to raise funds; it was a celebration of the power of community, mentorship, and most importantly, inspiration.

As part of our sponsorship, W Cosmetics contributed a beauty gift box filled with some of our best-selling products to be auctioned off. The funds raised from the silent auction went directly to providing a scholarship for a deserving student to attend LaSalle College High School. The joy and excitement that filled the room as guests bid on the box was a reminder of how beauty can transcend the surface and touch lives in unexpected ways.

The evening was filled with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt awards, but the real highlight was the inspiration that radiated from everyone in the room. It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do—to not only provide high-quality beauty products but to also give back and make a lasting impact. It was a night that celebrated the power of mentorship, education, and the promise of brighter futures.

Being part of Shelices Angels’ mission is more than just a partnership for W Cosmetics—it’s a reflection of who we are. Like Shelices Angels, we’re dedicated to helping people unlock their potential, whether that’s through a swipe of lipstick or by supporting organizations that empower others. We believe that when we lift each other up, we all shine brighter.

A special thank you to Zaire Franklin and the entire Shelices Angels team for allowing us to be part of such an extraordinary event. And to all of our supporters who made this night possible, we are incredibly grateful. Together, we’re building a future where beauty, empowerment, and community thrive.

Here's to many more nights of giving back, inspiring, and transforming lives!
