Stories Behind Beauty + Wellness
This didn't begin with a campus.
For years, people connected to Children of Fallen Heroes have used their talents, businesses and communities to show up for others.
Now those stories have a permanent home — and room to grow.
Christmas in Aberdeen
Sometimes community begins with making sure someone else has something to celebrate. Christmas toys, gathered with the Aberdeen Police Department.
When the Community Showed Up
Community isn't only about asking others to support our mission. It means showing up when someone within the community needs support, too. When a fellow stylist needed help, CFH took part in the fundraiser.
When a Wedding Became a Mission
Dolly and Maddy's wedding event became a Children of Fallen Heroes fundraising event. Their parents — Denise, Joe, Steve and Joanne — helped organize it, with support from the Compass Pointe community. At the time, CFH called it the best fundraising event in the organization's history. A family and a community turned a celebration into an opportunity to support the mission.
Coming in 2027
Inaugural North Carolina
Beauty + Wellness Festival
America's Campus for the Next Generation · Vass, North Carolina
This isn't an expo.
It's an experience.
One day. 82 acres. Everyone is welcome.
Date to be announced.
Not rows of folding tables
Come learn something.
Teach something. Try something.
Meet someone. Help someone.
Picture it on the land, outdoors, with the campus as part of the identity. These are experiences the festival is being built to include — not confirmed programming.
Competitions + energy
We want this to be fun.
Future festival competitions could include:
Competition lineup is not yet confirmed.
Professionals and students: tell us through the signup form what you'd like to demonstrate or compete in.
Wellness on 82 acres
Start the day differently.
Imagine beginning the festival outside with yoga, movement or mindfulness before the music, demonstrations and activities begin.
America's Campus gives CFH the ability to create wellness experiences in an outdoor environment rather than limiting the program to a ballroom or convention center. Open space, trees and the land itself become part of the day.
Wellness experiences here are about movement, connection and healthy living. They are not medical treatment.
A signature experience
More than a festival.
A community that shows up.
During the festival, the Beauty + Wellness community can come together to help create a wedding experience.
Wellness professionals
Wedding planners
Hair stylists
Barbers
Makeup artists
Photographers
Florists
Fashion
Food
Music
Decor
Volunteers
Different talents. One community.
CFH has already seen what can happen when a wedding, a family and a community come together around the mission. In 2027, we want to build on that spirit at America's Campus.
The 2027 couple has not been selected. Details, eligibility and how the community takes part will be announced as the program develops.
Who do we show up for next?
One wedding can become a tradition.
People who join the CFH Beauty + Wellness community will eventually have an opportunity to help nominate and vote on who the community comes together to support next.
Nomination and voting details will be announced as the program develops. Voting is not currently open.
Our land. Our flexibility.
Planned for Saturday.
Ready for Sunday.
The festival is planned as a one-day Saturday event. If weather prevents the outdoor festival from taking place Saturday, Sunday will serve as the planned weather backup day.
Because CFH has a permanent home, we have flexibility that would be much more difficult with a traditional rented venue.
The Saturday/Sunday dates will be announced when confirmed.
The Next Generation
Not every child dreams of becoming an engineer.
Some do.
Others may discover their future holding a pair of shears, behind a camera, teaching yoga, running a salon, building a wellness company, planning events, developing products or creating something none of us has imagined yet.
America's Campus for the Next Generation is about exposure.
Let young people meet people who turned talent into careers.
Let them ask questions.
Let them try things.
Let them see what's possible.
Beauty + Wellness is another pathway alongside CFH's other programming — not a separate mission.
