Spread Your Sunshine is on a mission to create inclusive, joyful experiences for children and families facing challenges, ensuring every child feels valued, included, and empowered to shine.
Our Story
Spread Your Sunshine was founded by Addie Loerzel to bring joy to children who often feel left out. Born with Spina Bifida, Addie understands the challenges than can make it harder for kids to fully participate in fun and meaningful experiences.
Through Spread Your Sunshine, she ensures that every child, no matter their circumstances, has the chance to create happy memories, feel included, and know they matter
When Addie realized that many organizations focus only on basic needs—like food and shelter—but often overlook social inclusion, she knew she had to take action.
Our Why
Every child deserves to experience joy, belonging, and connection. But for many—especially those facing homelessness, disabilities, or family struggles – these moments of happiness can be rare.
At Spread Your Sunshine, we believe that no child should feel forgotten. That’s why we create meaningful experiences that bring smiles and make lasting memories. From birthday surprises for homeless teens to community celebrations and exciting outings, our programs help children and families feel valued and included.
Together, we can spread joy and make a difference—one bright moment at a time.
