On March 8, 2025, Kim Casineau of The Coating House stepped behind the bar at Plan B Restaurant in Springfield, MA, joining a dynamic group of local leaders for the 2025 Impactful Women
Celebrity Bartenders event, to benefit I Found Light Against All Odds. Held on International Women’s Day the event brought the community together for an inspiring evening of purpose and philanthropy.
Kim didn’t just participate, she led the way. She won as top fund raiser for the evening, helping to support programs for young women facing homelessness and housing insecurity.
Throughout the night, powerful shifts of influential women served drinks, shared stories, and encouraged donations. Kim was joined by a phenomenal lineup of community changemakers, including Ashley Kohl, Rhonda Jacobs, Maureen Cayer, Judith A. Matt, Shannon Rudder, Julia St. Martin, Johanna Maldonado, Dr. Kathy Martin, and Moyah Smith. Their collective energy and passion fueled a successful and uplifting event.
“I Found Light Against All Odds” continues its important work supporting young women 18-20 through mentorship, education, and advocacy thanks to its Founder & President Stefan Davis and dedicated Board of Directors.
