33 for 33: A Year of Life-Changing Hope

This year would have been Ashton’s 33rd birthday.

Join us in remembering her life — and continuing her legacy — by pledging $33 a month for 12 months to empower women and spark lasting change.

Celebrate Hope & Cupcakes

From December 1 through January 24, join us as we remember Ashton and share her spirit of joy. Stop by Smallcakes Athens to try the Signature Ashton Cupcake — chocolate, salted caramel, and a purple heart in her honor. 10% of cupcake sales benefit The Ashton Hope Keegan Foundation.

On January 24, join us for a birthday celebration at Smallcakes Athens featuring Mighty McFly. More information to come!

Can’t make it in person? Celebrate virtually by enjoying a birthday dessert, snapping a photo, and sharing it with #33for33Hope and #CelebrateWithAshton.

Help us Light 33 Candles of Hope in Ashton’s Honor

Ashton lived her life with compassion, purpose, and joy. Though her time was short, her impact continues through the programs that carry her name — helping women break the cycle of poverty through education, training, and encouragement.

In honor of what would have been Ashton’s 33rd birthday, we’re inviting our community to celebrate by pledging $33 per month for 12 months. Each monthly gift fuels scholarships, certifications, and support that help women rise — and together, we’ll light 33 candles of hope, one for every year of Ashton’s life.

Every donor represents a spark of change. Our goal is both simple and symbolic:

10 donors: The foundation of hope

20 donors: Stretch goal — expanding Ashton’s impact

33 donors: Super stretch goal — one for each year of Ashton’s life

Together, these gifts sustain the scholarships, certifications, and support programs that empower women to create a brighter, more secure future for themselves and their families.

Be One of Ashton’s 33

Each “33 for 33” donor will receive a personalized Certificate of Hope, acknowledging their commitment and celebrating the candle they’ve lit in Ashton’s honor.

Throughout the year, we’ll share updates, success stories, and milestones made possible by your monthly gift.

Together, we’re creating a community of lasting impact — and 33 bright candles of hope.

Join the Birthday Celebration

Your $33 monthly pledge changes lives — and keeps Ashton’s light shining for generations to come.

Whether you give, share, or simply celebrate with us, you’re part of something extraordinary.
