Celebration, a brand that helps people express their hearts through gifts and meaningful gestures, is making waves with Project Advance, its flagship sustainability initiative designed to uplift female entrepreneurs and build stronger, more connected communities.
At the core of Project Advance is a simple but powerful belief: When women thrive, communities thrive. With this guiding principle, the initiative provides women-owned small businesses access to vital resources, expert mentorship and real-world market opportunities. It is a movement that is based on the mission of Celebrations and is in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth.
Since its launch, Project Advance has already empowered over 50 women entrepreneurs and helped scale over 70 small businesses. These efforts have created more than 100 new jobs, while participating businesses have seen an 85 percent increase in sustainability. These achievements reflect the initiative's commitment to fostering long-term success and resilience among women-led enterprises.
Through personalized support, intensive workshops and a vibrant community of like-minded business leaders, Project Advance is helping women not only scale their enterprises but also share their stories: stories of strength, vision and heart.
“This is just the beginning,” said Dele Balogun, CEO of Celebration. “We are committed to creating meaningful pathways for women to advance, express their purpose, and create a legacy that impacts the lives of generations.”
As Project Advance grows, Celebration is redefining sustainability, putting people, purpose and empowerment at the center of lasting impact.
