Our Story - October 27th marks the 7-year Anniversary of Dougie's passing. In celebration of his life and need to help others, we want to Pay It Forward by honoring his legacy and charitable spirit. Everybody who knew Dougie, could tell you stories about how he would offer his hoodies to anyone that was in need; a friend, a stranger on the street, even the homeless. This started back when he was in middle school and continued throughout his adult life. I remember I would constantly ask him “Where are all your hoodies going?” He would say "Mama, I gave the hoodies to my homies!"

I had no idea what that meant, and never really gave much thought to it at the time. Now years later, that statement has significant meaning for me.

So, we launched "Hoodies for my Homies®" in 2016. Hoodies for my Homies® is a buy-one-give-one program created to honor Dougie and his passion for helping others. When purchasing a hoodie during this anniversary period, a new hoodie will be donated to organizations serving the homeless, persons in need, displaced, or experiencing hardship. We also welcome suggestions from organizations that you believe would benefit from our donations. From the moment he was born, and even to this day, Dougie was a gift to our family and the lives of those who knew him. We want to repay his kindness as a legacy of his generosity and loving spirit.

We appreciate your continued support and ask that you share this information with others – go ahead, pay it forward!

with love, Christine and Daryl
