"Your
t-shirts will give me a peace of mind whenever they go on field trips,
whenever he goes to birthday parties, to family functions, to the mall,
grocery shopping, ANYWHERE! It brought tears to my eyes."
Janice, Mom
"The shirts arrived yesterday and I can't wait to get my son into them!! They
are really adorable. Thanks so much for doing what you do. Kids really
could use some cool looking clothes to keep other people aware of their
restrictions."
Karen, Mom

I
just wanted to thank you for everything. Received the package a few days later,
and my son is very happy with his "no peanuts wristband"! Thanks for
everything once again, and congratulations, you are doing an incredible job!

"I
wear my Mutiny Against Peanuts! T-Shirt at my concerts with pride! Blue
Bear Aware has mastered a balance between hip trendy shirts and
communicating important allergy messages, not to mention they are very
comfortable! Growing up with food allergies, I remember being awfully
shy talking about them. A funky Blue Bear Aware T-Shirt about my food
allergies would have been way cooler and less alienating then the giant
button I used to wear."

I
will be patching [the allergy awareness badges] onto my son’s medicine
pack, back packs and lunchbox to help others know he has an allergy as
well as to provide a catalyst whereby someone might approach him for
more information. Just want you to know that I searched for HOURS for
something a middle school boy would wear in public and your patches
were the only ones he thought were cool.
Again, thank you for
providing a patch that anyone would wear! Awareness development has
come a long way in terms of products available to the consumer since my
son was first diagnosed almost 10 years ago.

"It's not fair to expect a child (with allergies) to live on a warning edge all the time."

"Your t-shirts are just gorgeous. Thanks for giving me a taste of the quality and ingenuity of your company."
Erica Ehm of Yummy Mummy

"Cool shirts, I would recommend Blue Bear Aware to add to a child's wardrobe!"

My
3 year-old son is starting preschool this year and having grown out of
his last lot of BBA shirts, it was time to buy some new ones. My
husband refused to allow him to attend preschool unless he was
consistently wearing one of your shirts EVERY DAY!
Thanks again
for the great product and being active in providing all of us parents
with a product that contributes to our comfort in permitting our kids
to participate in day-to-day activities with reduced concern for their
health! Great job!!!
Jana, mom

Dear Blue Bear Aware
Our 27 month old son has multiple anaphylactic food
allergies as well as asthma and many environmental allergies. As a gift from
his grandparents our son recently received his first Blue Bear Aware
t-shirt. The shirt which has a chopper graphic on the front was an instant
hit with our son. He excitedly refers to it as his "vroom vroom" shirt.
Thank you so much for providing a service so needed for the allergic
community, your efforts to create quality, up to date products are very much
appreciated.
