At John’s Crazy Socks, we have a mission to spread happiness. Ask John how to achieve happiness and he will tell you: “Do for others and have gratitude.” In that spirit, we held our second annual 12 Days of Giving during the first 12 days of December. Each day, we highlighted the work of a charity partner and raised additional funds by donating $1 from every order to that charity partner.
John Cronin, co-founder of John’s Crazy Socks, is a Special Olympic athlete who loves the Special Olympics. In starting his business, he pledged to give back to the Special Olympics. John and John’s Crazy Socks has now raised $106,557 for the Special Olympics and today they held an event to celebrate.

We often say that without the Special Olympics, there would be no John’s Crazy Socks. The Special Olympics has had a profound impact on John’s development and character and it is hard to imagine that John would ever have been able to start his own business if not for the skills and life lessons he learned from competing as a Special Olympics athlete.

John puts it more simply, saying, “I Love the Special Olympics.”
