Connecting hearts,
even when apart.
Besties was created to help kids stay emotionally connected with the people they love—even when distance, travel, or work pulls the family apart.
From One Parent to Another: Why We Give
Being a dad is the greatest joy of my life, but it also taught me about a specific kind of heartbreak.
As a parent, there’s nothing harder than being away from your child—whether it’s because of travel, work, divorce, or life circumstances you didn’t choose. I also know the quiet struggle of watching your child deal with symptoms or hurdles that make it hard for them to tell you how they feel. As parents, all we want is to be close to them and to understand what is in their hearts.
I didn't just start Besties to build a business; I started it to create more "together" moments. But I know that for many families, those moments are harder to come by.
That is why we have committed to donating 1% of our net revenue to organizations dedicated to reuniting families and helping children find their voices. We are starting at 1% to ensure that as Besties grows, our ability to give grows with it. By building a sustainable foundation today, we can ensure we are helping parents and children for decades to come.
When you choose Besties, you aren't just buying a product—you're helping a child be seen, heard, and brought closer to home.
Organizations We Aim to Support
We’ve identified two pillars of impact that align with our mission as parents: bringing families back together and giving every child a voice.
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC)
As the nation's leading nonprofit on child safety, NCMEC works with the Department of Justice to find missing children and support families in crisis.
They address the ultimate pain of separation. We plan to contribute to their mission of bringing children home to their parents.
Autism Society of America
They are the oldest grassroots autism organization in the U.S., working to ensure that neurodivergent individuals have the support they need to be heard.
For children who struggle with symptoms that make it hard to express their feelings, we want to support the tools and advocacy that bridge the gap.
