Meet Our First-Ever Kindness Ambassador
We're proud to announce that Beekman 1802 has officially partnered with Connecticut women’s basketball forward Sarah Strong.
Known for her Kindness on and off the court, Sarah embodies our mission to create a Kinder world. That’s why she's the perfect choice to be our first-ever Kindness Ambassador.
A Partnership Rooted in Kindness
At Beekman 1802, we believe small acts of Kindness create lasting change. It’s a philosophy that shows up in everything we do, from our Clinically Kind® skincare to our Kindness Coaching Sessions. For us, a moment of self-care or genuine connection with a friendly Neighbor has the power to change the world.
When we set out to establish our first-ever Beekman 1802 Kindness Ambassador, we were looking for someone as committed to Kindness as we are. Someone who leads with compassion, lifts others up, and chooses Kindness even when under intense pressure.
Sarah Strong does exactly that—and so much more.
More Than Performance
Sarah’s accomplishments on the court speak for themselves. During the 2025–26 season, she received the Unanimous BIG EAST Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, All-BIG EAST First Team, and All-Defensive Team awards. Her efforts were so impressive she earned the nickname “Baby GOAT” (our personal favorite fun fact!) 🐐
But her performance doesn’t end on the court.
Off the court, Sarah is equally impressive. She’s known for her great character and her tendency to put the needs of others before her own. She received the Kay Yow Cancer Fund Servant Leader Award due to her outstanding generosity, courage, and strength.
These are just a few powerful examples of how Sarah leads the charge toward a Kinder world. It’s that Kindness that’s her competitive advantage—and ours.
Kindness as a Competitive Advantage
Many people forget to be Kind when times get tough. Sarah doesn’t.
Even with intense training schedules, stressful travel days, and physically demanding games, Sarah always chooses to be Kind. She uplifts teammates, shares credit with others, and stays rooted in compassion when life gets intense.
By keeping her composure and focusing on Kindness—no matter how difficult things get—Sarah builds trust and confidence with her teammates that goes beyond a single season.
At Beekman 1802, we believe Kindness like this has a ripple effect. It strengthens relationships, builds community, and helps everyone show up at their absolute best.
To maintain such high levels of performance, Sarah prioritizes another kind of Kindness: self-care.
How Self-Care Influences Sarah’s Performance
Like all the greats that came before her, Sarah understands just how important self-care is for maintaining a Kindness-first approach to life and basketball.
“If I want to show up for my teammates, I have to take care of myself,” she says.
Simple, reliable routines help her feel grounded and better prepared to support the people who rely on her. Skincare is one of the little things that keep her feeling centered during her most demanding season.
“My go-to right now is Milk Shake Facial Toner. It’s super lightweight and makes my skin feel calm and hydrated.”
When everything else is moving fast and furious, having a consistent self-care moment she can easily fall back on is key to keeping her cool and showing up Kind and confident—for herself and others.
Skincare That Supports Balance Every Day
At its core, Beekman 1802’s partnership with Sarah Strong reflects a shared belief that Kindness has the power to shape how we lead, perform, and even change the world.
Whether you’re a top-performing athlete like Sarah or just juggling the challenges of everyday life, finding simple ways to be Kind—to yourself, others, and your skin—can make all the difference.
Give yourself a self-care moment with the MVP of Milky Toners. Great for a hydrating boost and a refreshing reset even on the busiest days, it’s a game changer for sensitive skin.
