Born from the tragedy of the Saugus High School shooting, the goal of The GracieStrong Foundation is to prevent similar suffering and make the world a better place through a simple idea: encouraging others to speak up when they need to. Our mission is simple: “To Empower, inspire and support individuals to speak up and, more importantly, to realize that they have a voice and that it’s powerful and matters." To accomplish this, we have 2 initiatives in development. The first is the SPEAK(TF)UP!™ initiative, a project designed to provide awareness and the resources to anyone who needs to learn how to use their voice and that their voice is powerful and matters. The second is The WAY Journal™, a special interactive and guided journal for junior high and high school students that helps them answer the question “Who Are You?” The GracieStrong Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit | Tax ID: 85-4309884.
