Briding generations through beauty (non-tech)

Glamour Gals Foundation, a non-profit organization that aims to create “smiles that span all generations” by making over the elderly living in nursing homes.

Founded when Doyle was just 17 and a junior in high school, the main mission of the Glamour Gals Foundation is to bridge the generational gap between elderly women and teenage girls through the transformative power of makeovers. Motivated to start the organization after her grandmother’s death from loneliness, Doyle oversaw her first makeover in 2000.

“The great thing about Glamour Gals is that you can be really creative when an idea works,” she said. “You can experiment with it so much.”
