After five years in business, we are beginning the process of closing our doors. All remaining inventory is available at 70% off and we are organizing our final sock donations to partner hospitals. This will be the last opportunity to purchase or donate socks through Resilience Gives.

Since working with a 14-year-old non-hodgkin’s patient named Samaury on our first pair of socks in 2016 to releasing our 121st style this fall, each design has shared a story of resilience from families experiencing the ebb and flow of their cancer journeys. And although no single pair of socks altered the course of a child’s disease, collectively, they made a difference. Whether it was raising $150K for pediatric cancer research, donating 12K pairs of socks to children in hospitals across America, or serving as a tangible representation to remind families that they weren’t alone in their fight, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and am tremendously grateful to you, our community, for making it possible.

And yet, I’m also deeply disappointed in the outcome. I started Resilience Gives as a direct result of my own cancer experience and worked to create an organization that would improve patient lives and thrive as a mission-driven business. Continue reading: www.resilience.gives/closing

During her three years in treatment, Finley took advantage of hospital programming to draw, paint, and bead whenever she could. And when a child life specialist told Finley about an opportunity to bring her artwork to life in the form of fun hospital socks, Finley jumped at the chance. Now, Finley’s Cow socks are delivering cozy toes and warm hearts to families across America!

8-year-old Maddie Alexander loves to show off her socks. “Kind, helpful caring love strong brave, and smart,” she commented on just some of the words on her socks.

First gown donation in progress!

Earlier this year, we created our first hospital gown with the help of childhood cancer survivor, Andre Sanders. Now, 650 of these gowns are headed to children’s hospitals from Hawaii to Boston, and we’re hoping to reach 1,000 by the end of the year!

We fuel our gown donations by selling Live Like a Kid shirts. Every two shirts sold = one gown donated. You can learn more about the initiative here: www.resilience.gives/gown

What do banana socks and Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams have in common?

They both benefit families at Nationwide Children's Hospital!

We've teamed up with Jeni's to deliver some joy to patients and staff at Nationwide Children's Hospital, where sock designer Ryan had her craniotomy and chemotherapy.

This past Tuesday, we sent in 450 grippy socks and 50 children’s gowns while Jeni’s Ice Cream matched our contribution with 500 free scoop cards for staff in the hematology/oncology department. For the remainder of November, we'll continue the effort by contributing 10% of sales to the child life program at Nationwide Children's.

our beginnings

The idea for Resilience Gives fell into Jake’s lap when he was given his umpteenth pair of boring, non-slip, hospital socks after being admitted for a bone marrow transplant, but it remained just an idea until his journey with cancer forced him to reconsider what he knew about resilience. Since then, Resilience Gives has worked with over 90 families to design socks that empower patients and their communities. Read on

Along the way, we began a special project to bring the coziness of slipping into your favorite socks at home to families during their hospital stays. This year, we took the project to four resilient children, seeking design inspiration that would bring a smile to everyone’s face. Now, we’re thrilled to finally unveil our toe-to-toe collection: the coziest, non-slip socks ever made.

When you buy a pair, resilience gives a pair to a kid battling cancer (or their family member).
