Our Impact Before Even Becoming a 501(c)(3)
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
The foundation is a not-for-profit and a leading funder of research and studies in the works. We need more answers, which means the more money raised, the quicker that can happen.
Established in 1987, the AFSP is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death. They fund scientific research; educate the public about mental health; advocate for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention; and support survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide.
Through fundraising and Team Dancing Queen, our AFSP Out of the Darkness walk team, we have raised over $55,000 for them, since October 2019.
Long Island Crisis Center (“LICC”)
In 2019, $4,000 was donated to the Long Island Crisis Center (“LICC”), in Jamisons memory.
Before Jamison Novello’s Still Sparkling foundation became a 501(c)(3) in 2023, which now means supporting only not for profits, we awarded more than $100,000 in dance scholarships through the Jamison Novello Scholarship Fund at BDC, NYC. While we will always award these scholarships, which are now over $125,000, they will not be awarded through the foundation, but instead privately.
The dancers we award scholarships to must exhibit the pure passion that Jamison had for dance, submit essays explaining why they should be considered, and thrive in school.
