Feel the power of giving Poppies!
We started donating our Signature Pink Poppies shoes in 2023 and it has become the most meaningful tradition, thanks to people like you.
It began with an email from friends and family asking how they could help share more Poppies shoes. So we started our delivery of Poppies for Patients twice a year and it has become our most cherished tradition.
When you choose to purchase Poppies for Patients, we fill our tote for a day of deliveries to MGB and Dana Farber during the holidays and spring season.
We are beyond grateful for people like you, who help us bring cheer to those impacted by this disease and remind them, they are never walking alone!
We love personalization. Don’t you?
Personalize your Poppies by adding meaningful letters (ie: initials, X-O) that describe you or your gift-ee and we will create a charm stack trio, making your Poppies unique and one of a kind.
Tell us when you order, what letter(s) you’d like and we will create a stack of three charms, bringing the extra pep in your step for anything coming your way!
Cheers to always finding the pop of color each day.
