Shugarman’s Bath helps prepare foster family vacation home through Destination Memories partnership

Shugarman’s Bath teamed up with Destination Memories to help set up a vacation home for a local foster family in San Diego. The effort ties into a broader network that supports foster families through the Ticket to Dream Foundation and free family trips.

Why it matters: - Foster families often have limited time and money for rest, even as they handle court dates, sleepless nights and other demands of caregiving. - Destination Memories aims to give selected foster families a break they might not otherwise be able to afford. - The partnership connects a local home services company with a foster care charity effort that reaches families nationwide.

What happened: - Shugarman’s Bath partnered with Destination Memories to help prepare a vacation home for a local foster family in San Diego. - The company built personalized gift baskets for the children and helped stock and set up the home before the family arrived. - Shugarman’s Bath said it will not share details about the family to protect their privacy.

The details: - Destination Memories is the philanthropic arm of Destination Motivation, a company that says it has spent more than a decade showing how travel can change lives. - Destination Memories works with the Ticket to Dream Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that says it has helped more than 5 million children in foster care nationwide. - Ticket to Dream nominates foster families in a region, and Destination Memories selects one family to receive the trip. - Shugarman’s Bath already works with Destination Motivation through its Vacation Voucher program, which gives customers a vacation voucher after completing a remodel. - Shugarman’s Bath founder and president Chase Shugarman said the company wanted to show up for people in the community and welcome a family that deserves fun and relaxation. - Businesses interested in co-sponsoring a family trip in their own region can contact Destination Memories directly. - Homeowners considering a tub or shower remodel can schedule a free design consultation with Shugarman’s Bath.

Between the lines: - The partnership lets Shugarman’s Bath connect a customer-facing promotion with a community giveback effort. - The arrangement also gives Destination Memories a local business partner to help prepare the trip experience, not just fund it. - The privacy focus suggests the family’s identity and trip details are being kept deliberately limited.

What’s next: - Destination Memories is inviting other businesses to co-sponsor family trips in their regions. - Shugarman’s Bath is continuing to market its remodel services and free design consultations across San Diego and Orange counties. - The company’s media contact and social channels remain open for follow-up inquiries, including the company’s website, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook.

The bottom line: - Shugarman’s Bath used a partnership with Destination Memories to turn a remodel-related business relationship into a direct community benefit for a foster family.
