Beyond the Pages: How Kristin Tomasello’s Foundation and Business Reflect Her Mission of Giving
Kristin Tomasello has spent her life turning personal trials into a purpose-driven mission. From caregiving for her father during his battle with leukemia to becoming a voice for individuals with special needs, she has embraced a path of faith and service.
Her book, Pray, Give, Laugh: Life Through God’s Lens, reflects this journey, offering readers insight into how seeing life through God’s perspective can lead to deeper fulfillment. Each chapter connects spiritual wisdom with real-life experiences, emphasizing that faith is not about perfection—it’s about trust.
Tomasello’s heart for giving is evident in her Night to Remember Prom, an annual event that provides a magical prom night for individuals with special needs. This event fosters inclusion, bringing together families, friends, and community members to celebrate the beauty of every individual.
Her dedication extends to The Grateful Hearts Center, a creative hub in Tampa where children and young adults with special needs can explore art, music, and movement in a supportive environment. For Tomasello, these projects are more than charity—they are a way of living out her faith.
She also applies this philosophy to business. Costa Sea Suncare, her eco-friendly sunscreen brand, was founded with a mission to promote health and sustainability. Having seen the effects of cancer firsthand, she ensures that her products are free from harmful chemicals, protecting both people and the planet.
Through Pray, Give, Laugh, Tomasello encourages readers to step into their God-given purpose. Whether through acts of kindness, intentional giving, or finding joy in the midst of hardship, she reminds us that every small action can create a ripple effect of change.
