Description

Hello!

Thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Lauren, and I am the founder of Higgy Bears. I make special teddy bears for kids and teens with scoliosis. They wear matching back braces and have a scar down their back for kids that have had surgery. They are a little friend where one did not exist. To date, 30,000 kids and teens in 150 countries have Higgy Bears. They truly make scoliosis more bearable!

I am having my second annual Higgy Con in Rosemont, IL at the end of July this year. There will be approximately 500 people in attendance for 3 days of fun, love and support for both kids and parents. I am holding a silent auction and would love your help in raising funds for Higgy Bears. All of the proceeds will be used to donate free Higgy Bears to kids all over the world. With over 20,000 social media followers and an email list of 4,500 families, your donation will not go unnoticed! 

Thank you for considering!
