Candie's Foundation: Celebrity Supporters

The Candie’s Foundation is a non-profit organization that works to shape the way youth in America think about teen pregnancy and parenthood. They are an operating foundation rather than a grant-making foundation. The foundation develops and runs communication campaigns to raise awareness about, and motivate teens to prevent, teen pregnancy.

Each year, millions of teens are exposed to the foundation’s messages, which encourage them to delay pregnancy and expose them to the realities of teen parenthood. The Foundation’s approach is unique: all of their ads use celebrities that teens can relate to, in a style that speaks to teens on their own terms. They go beyond raising awareness; their goal is to influence teen culture.
