Live Like Gina Foundation 2025
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2025 was a wonderful first full year for the LLG Foundation! The reach was incredible with 40,000+ followers and millions of views. We continue to honor the beautiful and faith-filled life that Gina Lillian Schaffer lived. By doing this, we hope to encourage others to live like her: be kind, helpful, and loving. Make this world a better place by making yourself a better person and prepare yourself for eternity in Heaven. We often share honest and vulnerable posts about grieving. Our goal is to emphasize the importance of searching for joy amidst your grief and struggles.
The first annual Live Like Gina Fest was a total success! The night was filled with live worship, fellowship, prayer, a cookie contest, games, food, and silent auction. Most importantly, we remembered and honored our Gina. We are beyond grateful to announce that we raised over $10,000 during the event.
The LLG Foundation continues to reach individuals around the world-
