Courageous Crew
In honor of serving medically challenged children and their families for the past 25 years, the Shadow Buddies Foundation introduces our new “Courageous Crew” Buddies. These dolls (Buddies) can be used to comfort both the children of these public servants who are forced to be away from their families for extended periods of time, as well as by these “Courageous Crews” as they interact with children in traumatic circumstances.

Since 1995, The Shadow Buddies Foundation has been bringing smiles, hope and companionship to medically challenged children across the country and around the world in the form of cuddly, plush Buddies.
Our Shadow Buddies are a representation that your child, regardless of any illness they may have, is never alone, that they can proudly proclaim they have a friend “just like me.”
Help the Shadow Buddies Foundation spread love and education to these special children and their families; you can donate your time, money and even Buddies, themselves, to make a difference in the life of a child.
