Fresh Start for Women is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women help themselves and is 100% supported by private donations. This is achieved through the work of the Jewell McFarland Lewis-Fresh Start Women’s Resource Center, the first comprehensive Center offering quality services to women seeking self-improvement.

Phoenix AIDS Walk
The Phoenix AIDS Walk began in Phoenix in 1987 and quickly grew to become a community-wide event that at its peak raised nearly $1 million dollars. More people with HIV/AIDS need care than ever before, but federal and private funding for medical care and supportive services continues to decline. Phoenix AIDS Walk has been steadily increasing in visibility and in funds raised throughout the last few years.
Team Spa SWINA organized a group of walkers and participated in showing their solidarity and support at the 2010 Phoenix AIDS Walk.
The Melonhead Foundation
The Melonhead Foundation is a non-profit organization that supports the needs of children with cancer and their families. They provide financial aid to families of children with any diagnosis of cancer in an effort to help lessen the burden of expenses these families experience during the treatment phase.
To provide financial aid to families of children 21 years of age or younger, with any diagnosis of cancer. We have awarded payment for housing, insurance, utilities, food, medical expenses and natural healing such as acupuncture, massage, and naturopaths when requested.
For the past 4 years, SWINA has donated gift certificates for services to help raise money for the Melonhead Foundation.
