Please join me, Liza Ginoni-Gambino, 2023 Mrs. Connecticut American, to raise money for the Victoria's Voice Foundation.   This charity holds a special place in my heart for all those with a substance abuse addiction, especially the youth of today.  I lost my mother to her addictions.  It is very difficult to lose a parent and even more difficult to lose a child. Let’s come together as a community to raise awareness and keep the children of tomorrow safe from the addictions of today.

The Victoria's Voice Foundation is the corporate philanthropy of the Mrs. America and Miss for America Pageants. In addition to the state community work of the Mrs. Winners, they also work through the Mrs. America organization to raise awareness of drug overdose and substance abuse.  The Foundation was created by David Siegel after he and his wife lost their beautiful daughter, Victoria, to a drug overdose in 2015.  The Siegel’s tragic, unimaginable loss has inspired their complete devotion to shining a bright light on a dark issue that has crippled our nation.  This was a serious subject that resonated with Liza because she was the daughter of a substance abuser who passed away from complications of her addiction.   Liza wholeheartedly states “I developed abandonment issues later in life and feelings of never being enough.  I found my passion in fitness in 2002 which began my journey of self-love.  Helping others find strength and empowerment helped me love myself. I look back at my childhood and I am grateful that there are so many resources today for families. Such organizations help parents, children, and families recognize addiction and help them to develop strategies that bring structure, balance, and healing back into their lives.  I love that foundations like Victoria’s Voice exist.  Her family believes that by Victoria’s death, thousands will be saved.  As a fitness advocate, I find that exercise is not just a means to fix imperfections or things we’d like to physically change about our bodies; it truly is a form of self-care that affects our mood, attitudes, stress, and anxieties. It can build our confidence in hopes to remove the mental obstacles we tend to face.   It has truly helped me overcome many challenges I had to face in my adult life.  I would love to help more women in the world love themselves by finding their strength.  And be someone that other women who may have encountered the struggles I have, gain the tools they need for a better tomorrow.”    To learn more please visit: https://victoriasvoice.foundation/
