We’re thrilled to introduce the winners of our Seventh Annual Autism Can Do Scholarship—an award that celebrates creativity, talent, and the incredible achievements of individuals with autism.
🎨 First Place: Evelyn Walters from Pennsylvania
Her design, “Bee Kind,” reminds us that kindness matters. Her sock will be produced and sold in our store—Evelyn is now an official sock designer!
✈️ First Runner-Up: Allison McGoldrick from New York
Her “SOAR” design shows a plane flying through the clouds, a symbol of rising above challenges and reaching new heights.
🥚 Second Runner-Up: Wilbert Sullivan from Connecticut
His “You Are Egg-cellent” design brings joy with smiling eggs and a celebration of our differences.
We received nearly 400 applications—a record number—and every one reflected the power of possibility.
You Make This Possible
This scholarship exists because of you. When you shop with us, you're doing more than buying socks. You’re helping us create opportunities for people with differing abilities, including funding this scholarship and supporting meaningful employment.
And we want to thank our friends partners at the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism and Rangam. Thank you for believing in this work.
💙 Together, we're spreading happiness—one sock, one scholarship, one story at a time.
With gratitude,
John and Mark X. Cronin
