Chris Nikic Foundation
At age 21, Chris became the first person with Down Syndrome to complete an IRONMAN. His message of perseverance, access, and hope fuels our purpose at Finley’s. Small strides for a greater purpose have allowed Chris to show the world what is possible for others like him. Today, he's a two-time ESPY Winner, completed major marathons, and inspired the Runner #321 movement with his friends at Addidas. This movement asks marathons to hold bib #321, a number representing trisomy 21 in the Down syndrome community, for a neurodivergent athlete to ensure their representation in mainstream sports.
Finley's gives a portion of each purchase to the Chris Nikic Foundation to support his message of getting 1% better every day, and his efforts to bring representation and access to sports for people with disabilities.
Michael Kutcher
Since birth, Michael has defied odds and inspired others to achieve more in life. As an advocate in the disability community and keynote speaker, he represents what it truly means to turn obstacles into opportunities.
As a dog dad and passionate partner to the Finley's mission, he shares that important message across all our sales and marketing activities helping drive Finley's mission to better serve people and pets across the country.
Special Olympics
Health and wellness initiatives are critical to our Ambassadors and their families. Over 90% of Finley's team participates in their local Special Olympics programs. Whether its a Puppy Plunge or the humans jumping in frozen lakes, Finely's is all-in on inclusion and supporting the many chapters around the country providing access to sports for our team.
Best Buddies
Community engagement, advocacy, and social connections are pivotal for emotional well-being in the disability community. Operating in major cities across the country, Best Buddies provides people with disabilities access to social activities or employment that bring them joy, purpose, and pride within their community. Whether its a mentor, concert, social outing, or sporting event, Finley's is proud to support Best Buddies efforts to make inclusion a priority throughout the world.
More Partnerships
Inclusive Influencers
Representation is a core focus at Finley's. We strive to partner with influencers who share our values and live our mission every day. Every purchase supports our efforts to give back through partnerships that provide impact to individuals that are under represented in the advertising world. One day, we hope that is no longer a thing. Until then, we will continue to make Treating with Kindness accessible to all.
