John here. We have so much happening that I want to share with you.
John’s Crazy Socks and the Pro Bowlers Tour
We are now the official athletic sock company for the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) Tour for the 2025 season. Next week, I will go to Delaware for the first tournament of the season and I will roll out the first ball. You can see the
bowling socks here and
read about our partnership with the PBA here.
Ending the Subminimum Wage
For many years, my Dad and I have met with members of Congress to get rid of the subminimum wage. This law allows employers to pay people with a disability, people like me, as little as five cents an hour. We even testified before Congress.
Now, the Department of Labor has a proposal to get rid of the minimum wage. They have asked people to comment on their proposal, though the deadline is today. (January 17). If you have time,
please sign on here and leave a comment telling them that you support this change.
Everyone working deserves to be paid a fair amount for the work they do.
Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is coming and we have been working on some special surprises so you can make your sweetheart or whomever you love feel special. I give a Valentine’s Day gift to my Mom every year and can’t wait to have a girlfriend so I can give her a Valentine’s Gift. You can see our
Valentine’s gifts here.
We’re Hiring
We are adding two new people to our team: A Content Wizard (a Digital Media Lead) and a Discovery Guide (an Educator). We want people to join us on our mission to spread happiness. Both jobs will work in our office, so you will need to live on Long Island. If you know someone who would love one of these jobs, tell them to check out
our Career page.
Thank You
I always thank you for your support. Our socks will make you happy and when you buy our socks, you make it possible for us to hire people with differing abilities (more than half our colleagues have a differing ability) and you make it possible for us to
give back (we have donated over $800,000 to our charity partners). You make it possible for us to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities like we did with the subminimum wage. Most of all, you help us spread happiness.
We need you to buy our socks so we can keep doing what we are doing.
Thank you.
