In our ongoing mission to empower young women, we have launched our "Girl On Fire" program. We search for girls who are actively making a difference by giving back, and we recognize her as a girl on fire, making changes with a cause they are passionate about.
We are proud to partner with each one of them and help support their worthy causes.
Here are a few
our mighty girls who are changing the world 💗

At the age of seven, Dana founded Cookies4Cures to raise money for her friend, Mila, diagnosed with a rare and fatal genetic disorder called Batten. With a goal of $1000, Dana set out baking cookies and selling them from her red wagon. With help from friends, she raised $56,000; and more importantly enough money to fund research to the first ever cure for Mila's Batten.
Dana soon realized her potential to make a difference and turned her passion for baking to help more kids fight rare pediatric diseases. With your purchase in February and March of 2021 we will donate 20% of all online sales proceeds to help Dana reach her fundraising goals to finance research and give others a chance to grow up.

We asked Addisyn a few questions to learn more about our Girl on Fire:
JstBU: What's the best advice that you were given?
Addisyn: There is no such thing as dreaming too big. With a little hard work, whatever I can picture I want to do, I can do. With my siblings help, we have grown Snuggle Sacks to help thousands each month through many difference services we offer now.
JstBU: Do you have a daily affirmation?
Addisyn: Kindness is contagious - awareness is key. Spread it everywhere!
JstBU: What's your favorite JstBU style?
Addisyn: I really like the Valentina and Charlotte bralettes
