A Brand that Gives Back, Inspired by the Bravest Bird
We're Brave Birds California, a stationery & gifts company started by a mom and two daughters. We're on a healing mission to pay forward the help that got us through some tough times, so we donate 10% of proceeds to pediatric cancer research and patient support programs that improve quality of life while kids are going through tough treatments.

Our Inspiration
Our very own "brAVERY" is our inspiration. Avery was diagnosed with Lymphoma at 5 years old, just months after we lost her dad to a heart condition. It was ROUGH to say the least, but we deemed ourselves the "Three Little Birds" with a little encouragement from the Bob Marley song that says "Every little thing is gonna be alright." Avery is the BRAVEST BIRD and we are delighted to celebrate her being 8 years cancer free!

Giving Back
We love Make-A-Wish - Avery got her wish to swim with dolphins in 2016 and it was beyond amazing! We walk for wishes every year (2025 walk pictured here), Kristina shares our story at speaking events, and we were featured in Make-A-Wish America's World Wish Month campaign!
