2026 Promise with Purpose Birthday Campaign

Thursday February 12, 2026

Details

Everyone has the power to listen, believe, and respond when someone asks for help. The Lauren McCluskey Foundation has turned this into a simple pledge: I will listen to and believe you if someone is threatening you. These words can alter the course of lives — offering support to victims and their families when it matters most.

February 12th, 2026, will mark what would have been Lauren McCluskey’s 29th birthday. Tragically, Lauren was murdered on October 22nd, 2018, after she was not listened to, or believed. To honor her memory, the Lauren McCluskey Foundation hosts Promise with Purpose annually — a campaign dedicated to advancing Lauren’s Promise through awareness and critical funding.

Join us through making Lauren’s Promise, sharing Lauren’s Promise, or making a donation, as we honor Lauren’s life and advance a campaign built on compassion, accountability, and the simple promise that could save lives. Additional event details to come in January 2026.
