The Story of Addi Laird's Flower Power Foundation
Welcome to Flower Power Foundation!
Flower Power Foundation is 501(c)(3) non-profit that Addi Laird launched in 2023. The goal of Flower Power is to raise awareness and provide resources for those struggling with mental health challenges in underserved communities. We achieve this goal by sharing the beauty of flowers!
Flower Power's primary fundraising mechanism is a subscription-based flower service that delivers six handmade arrangements to your home throughout the year, near major holidays. All proceeds go to Mental Health America. Mental Health America "advocates for closing the mental health equity gap while increasing nationwide awareness and understanding through public education, direct services, tools, and research." Their "State of Mental Health in America Report" is one of the most widely respected health reports in the nation.
Why Join Our Subscription?
Our flowers not only bring beauty to your home, but also to someone else’s life! Plus, they are hand-assembled and delivered just before major holidays like Valentine’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, and more. To help Flower Power achieve our nonprofit goals, we need your support and are deeply grateful for the generosity of those committed to our cause. Here’s how you can help:
- Subscribe: For just $9.99, you receive six handmade holiday bouquets each year. Brighten your home and someone else’s life, knowing that all profits support mental health services. Subscriptions are safe and secure through our website.
- Become a Donor: If you’re not interested in receiving flowers or live outside the Sacramento area, you can still support our nonprofit. Donations are accepted through our website and are securely processed via PayPal.
About Addi Laird
Hi! My name is Addison (Addi) Laird and I am the founder and CEO of Flower Power Foundation. I am currently a junior at Christian Brothers High School in Sacramento where I am a part of the scholar's program, the video and media program, and many service programs. I have two sisters, Sydney (18) and Molly (13). I am from East Sacramento and went to Sacred Heart Elementary School. I play year round soccer for Union FC Sacramento and was selected captain of my JV soccer team during my sophomore season at Christian Brothers. At the end of the season I was awarded the Most Inspirational Leader Award, as voted on by my teammates. During the summers I spend a lot of my time at Sutter Lawn Tennis Club where I am a swim coach and lifeguard. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with friends, playing with my two dogs, and drinking Starbucks!
From an early age, flowers have held a special place in my heart—my childhood nursery was flower-themed, and their beauty and resilience resonated with me. As I grew older, I developed a strong passion for mental health advocacy, and I intend to pursue a career in psychology. I wanted to find a way to combine my love for flowers with my mission to support mental health. That is how I came up with the idea for Flower Power Foundation! Please join me in my efforts for this great cause!
