Tinysuperheroes

Grant in 2016
TinySuperheroes is a tiny cape company with a super BIG mission to empower Extraordinary kids who exemplify strength and determination as they overcome illness or disability. When you buy a cape for a special kid in your life, we’ll donate another cape to a kid with TinySuperhero powers! In August 2012, I dusted off my sewing machine and made a superhero cape for my nephew’s second birthday. I then made one for my son and my dog. Sewing superhero capes became a fun hobby – something to do in the midst of being a new mom working full time for a software company.
