An Advocacy Story
Pudding Buddies is a line of soft toys I designed as sensory tools for neurodivergent kids. My innovative business pitch earned first place among over 23,000 applicants in the SE Regional National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) Youth Challenge. With the invaluable support of NFTE and The Hunter Watson Fund, offering me combined awards and grants totaling over $10,000, I successfully completed my first mass production toy run. I am proud to bring these comforting toys to market to reach the children who need them most.
