UPDATE: The Braves have so much interest in the collab tee they are launching them TODAY at noon eastern. If you want one, get ready!!😉❤️⚾️ Link to purchase is pinned in the comments.

We‘ve got some cool news to share!! The Atlanta Braves Foundation Inc reached out to us to see if we would be interested in a collab shirt with them. Yes, I had to reread the email several times to believe it. 😉 The Atlanta Braves are hosting their first ever Autism Acceptance Day at Truist Park on April 12th. Their goal is to increase their efforts toward autism awareness and acceptance. I can’t even describe how proud I am that they want to include Jordyn in those efforts! We will be at the game on April 12th and we hope some of you will be too. ❤️⚾️

A taboo subject, but such important information for families with girls! Special needs girls experience the same challenges as all pre-teens hitting a new stage in their lives, but it takes a different technique to help teach them! We hope sharing this will encourage a new perspective for all families and help your young ladies with these changes!
