Our Partners

Since the very beginning of our mission in 2015, we have partnered with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to provide donations to cutting edge cancer research. MSKCC, based in the greater New York City area, is one of the largest and most trusted cancer research institutions in the United States. Prior to our eCommerce launch in January 2020, we donated 22K to MSKCC. To date we are proud to have donated over 44K to MSKCC and other cancer research foundations. We are excited to grow and expand our mission and impact every year!
