WOMEN OF STRENGTH™️

LEGACY OF RESILIENCE

2025 EDITION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

The Campaign

In honor of Women’s History Month, FREIDA ROTHMAN is proud to celebrate the WOMEN OF STRENGTH™: Legacy of Resilience campaign, recognizing the unwavering strength of widows of fallen heroes in service—women who have transformed loss into a legacy of strength and hope. This year, we are deeply honored to partner with FOLDS OF HONOR to support the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Freida's greatest inspiration has always been her grandparents. As Holocaust survivors, they found refuge in America - a place where they could rebuild their lives with hope, resilience, and unwavering strength. Their journey instilled a deep belief In her that strength isn’t just about endurance, but about rising above challenges and inspiring others to do the same.

That belief is at the heart of our annual WOMEN OF STRENGTH™ campaign - a celebration of extraordinary women who carry forward the legacies of their fallen heroes, uplifting military and first responder families with love and determination.

A portion of proceeds from the award-winning STRENGTH Bracelet will help fund scholarships that empower the next generation, ensuring that the stories of these heroes live on and that their families are given the opportunity to thrive. Through this partnership, we honor their sacrifice and continue to build a brighter future, together.

"Through the WOMAN OF STRENGTH™️ campaign, we aim to celebrate the remarkable achievements of resilient women and inspire future generations to pursue their passions with courage."

- Freida Rothman
