Michigan, US, 22nd January 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Fit2Flaunt, a groundbreaking fitness and empowerment brand, is making waves with its commitment to uplifting women and promoting mental health. Through its nonprofit arm, the Fit2Flaunt Foundation, the organization is changing lives with programs dedicated to fostering self-confidence, community, and self-care.
A cornerstone of these efforts is the annual Mother’s Day Grant Program, a heartfelt initiative that provides five deserving moms with $700 each, encouraging them to prioritize their mental health and well-being. The only rule? The funds must be spent exclusively on themselves.
“Motherhood is a beautiful yet demanding journey, and all too often, moms put themselves last,” said Shelly Murdock, Founder and CEO of Fit2Flaunt. “Our Mother’s Day Grant Program is our way of reminding moms that they matter too. By giving them this gift, we’re inspiring them to take a step back, focus on themselves, and rediscover their joy.”
Empowering Through Self-Care
The Fit2Flaunt Foundation’s Mother’s Day Grant Program was born from a simple yet profound idea: empowering mothers to embrace self-care. With the rise in awareness of mental health challenges, especially among women balancing careers, family, and personal aspirations, the foundation’s mission is more relevant than ever.
“Self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential,” Murdock added. “By prioritizing their own well-being, moms can show up as the best version of themselves for their families and communities.”
Each year, the foundation selects five mothers from a pool of nominations submitted by their loved ones or by the moms themselves. Recipients are chosen based on their stories of resilience, sacrifice, and a clear need for a moment of self-focus.
The Rules: Prioritizing Joy and Wellness
The grant comes with a simple but transformative rule: the $700 gift must be used solely for the recipient’s personal benefit. Whether it’s a spa day, a weekend getaway, a fitness membership, a luxury item they’ve been dreaming of, or simply a quiet retreat, the choice is theirs.
By imposing this rule, the Fit2Flaunt Foundation ensures that the funds are dedicated entirely to the recipient’s well-being, providing them with a guilt-free opportunity to recharge and rediscover themselves outside of their roles as mothers.
Testimonials from Past Recipients
The impact of the program has been profound, with previous recipients sharing heartwarming stories of how the grant allowed them to focus on themselves for the first time in years.

Fit2Flaunt Foundation: More Than Fitness
Founded by Shelly Murdock, a U.S. Air Force veteran and passionate advocate for women’s empowerment, the Fit2Flaunt Foundation is an extension of the brand’s mission to transform lives through fitness, body positivity, and mental health awareness.
While the Fit2Flaunt fitness programs and retreats focus on building confidence through pole dancing and fitness, the nonprofit initiatives take the mission further, addressing the broader needs of women in the community.
