The Beanie Brigade

The Beanie Brigade Warming Heads and Hearts by providing hats to kids/teens/adults who need support. Please contact us if you wish to participate!

The Beanie Brigade was founded after my son had surgery to remove a brain tumor. While at the hospital we realized when they took his dressing off he didn't want to have people visit him with his head uncovered. Beanies were the only hats that he could wear that were comfortable and it made him feel better. A few weeks later we learned of another little boy who had undergone a similar surgery but

was also facing radiation. We thought if we sent him some hats maybe it would bring a smile to his face if even for a moment. The idea of collecting hats and sending them to kids that need them was born! This group is in honor of these kids and many more like them. Please contact me if you are interested in helping to provide hats for these amazing kids!

Thank you to all our volunteers!  This smile is why we stuffed all those beanies ❤️

Thank you to Wire Road Brewing for letting The Beanie Brigade take over the patio tonight. Thank you to everyone who came out to help us stuff beanies and get to our 10,000 goal in 10 years! We did it! There are too many people to tag but every single person that came tonight I am so grateful. When we started this passion project 10 years ago I never dreamed we would send out 10,000 beanies to kids undergoing treatment or surgery. Thank you to JMARK and the downtown Kiwanis for all of your support these past few years. We could not have made it without it. Thank you to my husband Scott Bottorf for always being there to do anything I needed and for the unwavering support. Now that we have reached this goal I have decided that it is time for The Beanie Brigade to retire. We will be finalizing the last shipments out to hospitals and then we will be closing up shop. Thank you all for making it such a memorable ride. Our goal was to bring a smile to children’s faces if even for a moment. I hope we accomplished that with the 10,000 kids we were honored to mail a beanie to. They have each touched our hearts for sure! ❤️

Thank you to the Kiwanis Club of Downtown Springfield for your continued support!!
