Meet our Guests:
John’s Crazy Socks is a social enterprise inspired by John Lee Cronin, a young man with Down syndrome, and his love of colorful and fun socks—what he calls his “crazy socks.” John suggested to his father, Mark X. Cronin, that they start the business to spread happiness.
They built the business on five pillars:
- Inspiration and Hope – Showing What People with Differing Abilities Can Do
- Giving Back
- Fun Products You Can Love
- Making It Personal
- Making It a Great Place to Work
More than half of their employees have a different ability, their Giving Back program has raised over $750,000 for charity partners like the Special Olympics, the National Down Syndrome Society, and the Autism Society of America. Most of all, they are Spreading Happiness™.
Every Tuesday, John hosts an online dance party at 3 pm EST on Zoom!
