On Saturday, September 20, 2025, Thrive Causemetics proudly participated in Foster Love’s Disney Days event, a heartwarming sibling reunification held at Disneyland. This was our second year in a row partnering with Foster Love for Disney Days, and we were thrilled to bring even more volunteers from the Thrive Causemetics community to help make the day unforgettable.

A Day of Joy, Reconnection, and Magic

In the foster care system, more than 70% of siblings are placed in separate homes. Many go months, or even years, without seeing one another. Disney Days was created to change that. By reuniting brothers and sisters in foster care for a day filled with laughter, rides, and cherished memories, this one-of-a-kind event reminds every child of the magic of family.

This year, 200 children were reunited with their siblings at Disneyland. Together, they experienced moments of joy, healing, and belonging that will last a lifetime.

One of Thrive Causemetics' team members, Rachel, joined the event and reflected on what it meant to be part of such a transformative day:

“It was an honor to join our Giving Partner Foster Love at Disney Days 2025, where 200 siblings separated in foster care were reunited in the happiest place on earth. The experience was both humbling and inspiring - a powerful reminder that at Thrive Causemetics, we are privileged that we get to do this work. Beauty has always been about more than just lipstick; it’s about creating moments of joy, belonging, and lasting impact beyond that day. Disney Days embodied exactly that!” - Rachel Ellis, Senior Director of Retail Strategy

Our team was incredibly honored to volunteer as chaperones and ensure each child felt safe and celebrated. We also surprised every child with a gift, including our Lip Mate™ High-Shine Reviving Lip Topper and Defying Gravity™ Lightweight Moisturizer, to take home as a reminder that they are loved and cared for.

Our Partnership with Foster Love

Thrive Causemetics has been a proud partner of Foster Love since 2019, working together to bring joy, dignity, and hope to children impacted by foster care. Over the years, we’ve contributed more than $1.4 million in product donations to support Foster Love’s mission and have joined forces on a variety of initiatives, including:

Coffee for a Cause: Guests enjoyed signature coffee drinks at La La Land Kind Cafe while discovering our new Colored Mascara collection and learning about Foster Love’s mission, with proceeds benefiting the organization.

Equine Therapy Program: Thrive Causemetics proudly sponsored a day of equine therapy for survivors of sex trafficking, hosted by Foster Love. This healing experience at Happy Days Ranch provided participants with comfort, empowerment, and connection through the therapeutic power of horses.

Back-to-School Pack-Out: Team Thrive Causemetics came together to assemble and donate back-to-school kits, ensuring foster children could kick off the new school year with confidence and the essential supplies they need to succeed.

These moments are just a few examples of how Thrive Causemetics and Foster Love continue to work hand in hand to uplift and empower children in the foster care system.

Continuing the Magic Together

This year’s Disney Days would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of Foster Love and the generosity of their partners and volunteers. Thrive Causemetics is grateful to be part of this mission and looks forward to continuing our support of initiatives that uplift and empower children in foster care.

The real magic isn’t just about rides or fireworks – it’s about giving children the chance to be kids, alongside the people they love most.
