FOUNDERSparkling Kindness is dedicated to offering a glimmer of hope during ones struggles and a light in ones darkness.
BE THE LIGHT
Giving Back
These days, many families are impacted by the devastating touch of cancer. Whether it be a sister or brother, friend or relative, the heartbreaking road fighting the battle can be long and difficult. Angie (Chesla) Bogardus, a 1999 Cambridge-Isanti graduate, wanted to do something to add a little light to that dark road.
A Force for Good
Angie has always loved helping others. So when she joined Origami Owl back in 2013, our mission of being a “Force for Good” felt like a natural fit. Over the past few years, she and her daughter, Maliyah, have continued to give back through helping the local homeless.

What People Are Saying...
I cannot begin to express the gratitude that I - and the Northglenn HS community - have for Angie & Sparkling Kindness. Our students never have to do without hygiene items, no matter their personal situations, thanks to our partnership. Angie & team have the biggest hearts and our students are the delighted recipients of their talents and gifts. NO student should have to worry about coming to school feeling their best - thanks to Sparkling Kindness, they don't!

TEACHERI’m a stage 4 breast cancer patient at Rocky Mountain Cancer Center, and I’m going through chemo for the third time.
I received one of your gift bags the other day, and it brought so much joy, and provided some essentials that I was in need of!
I attached a couple pics of myself with the swag. Thank you for all that you do for breast cancer survivors and thrivers out there! The world needs more people like you and more kindness like this!

PARTNER
Sparkling Kindness is one of our most valued partner organizations. When serving foster and kinship families we often find that basic needs are not being filled. To be able to give these families these incredible hygiene and period kits with full size products shows these families dignity and love. We are so grateful to be a distributing partner of Sparkling Kindness. Their team is friendly and engaging and when we work with them, our clients feel valued and respected.
