Playful Pancakes for Mother's Day
Some of you may know about our wonderful 8 year old friend Cassidy who creates her Playful Pancake cat toys and sends 100% of the proceeds to the international "Kids for Kids" organization to buy goats (kids) for families in Sudan. So far her hard work and spunk has resulted in the purchase of 250 goats!
If you are looking for a unique Mother's Day Gift, consider purchasing some Playful Pancake cat toys at $4.50 each while simultaneously helping another Mother somewhere in Sudan.
This little girl's efforts have inspired other adults and businesses in our community to pitch in through the formation of a fun fundraising event called Notes for Goats. This fun community event features local musicians, food and guest speaker Patricia Parker, Chairman and Founder of Kids for Kids. If you live in the vicinity of Corvallis then we encourage you to check it out on April 19, 2008.
Trish has been an entrepreneur, marketer and maker ever since she crushed her first lemonade stand at age five. Growing up in rural Wisconsin, she spent many summers running barefoot with her sisters. These early memories later inspired her to build a brand which embraced the joy and freedom of childhood with the health and science of minimal footwear.
Trish relishes evolving the company to grow stronger and more competitive with each passing year. She is a frequent expert panelist for both e-commerce and entrepreneurship conferences. Trish enjoys spending time with her family, dogs and ducks on their property in Oregon and loves the proximity to both surf and snow. She has a background in Engineering Physics and an MBA from the University of Chicago.
