ABOUT ELSIE SOARS FOUNDATION
BUILD CONNECTIONS. BUILD COMMUNITY.
Elsie Soars Foundation (ESF) is a non-profit established in memory of Elise M. Gonzales Commodore, who was born with a severely rare lymphatic disease.
Unfortunately, Elsie passed away just shy of her 4th birthday.
In Elsie’s honor, the foundation aims to help young girls and boys establish a healthy foundation of faith, confidence, discipline and well-being.
Our mentors will equip these young minds with the necessary tools through our programming by connecting with like-minded peers who desire to succeed and achieve fruitful lives.
We will partner with various organizations and healthcare networks within North and South Carolina to support our initiatives.
The Elsie Soars Foundation's purpose is to create beneficial partnerships and relationships for all who contribute to the memory of preserving Elsie’s spirit through future generations.
Our mission is to provide underserved communities with high-impact programs, resources and services geared toward young boys 6-12 years old, and mothers & daughters between the ages of 11 and 17.
“We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list. Find people who will make you better.”
— Michelle Obama, Former First Lady of the United States
