TatySocks are designed by children impacted by cancer.
Your TatySocks purchase is a donation to innovative cancer research.
Back in 2014, Tracy Saperstein decided to run the Boston Marathon as a member of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute charity team. She was blown away by her experience and has continued to run on their behalf each year. In addition to running, Tracy has helped to raise $200,000 to support cancer research at Dana-Farber, while also developing long-lasting relationships with families that have been impacted by cancer.
In 2017, Tracy ran the Boston Marathon in memory of a 16-year old child – Tatyana – who lost her battle to cancer. Tatyana was an artist and while she was receiving treatments at Dana-Farber, her artwork was on display throughout the hospital. To help keep her legacy alive, Tracy had a piece of Tatyana's artwork digitally printed on a pair of socks and sold them to raise money for Dana-Farber. The socks were a big hit and just like that, TatySocks was born.
Now as a 501c3 nonprofit organization, TatySocks is dedicated to "Defeeting Cancer Two Socks at a Time." Every pair of TatySocks is designed using artwork created by brave children who are either battling cancer, or children who have unfortunately passed on due to cancer. Tracy works with children and families to collect their artwork and share it on socks. All of the funds raised by the nonprofit are helping to fund innovative cancer research. Tracy is also developing non-skid TatySocks to be donated to children in hospitals throughout New England.
