Earlier this year the community of Boston lost one of their most beloved philanthropists with the passing of Myra Kraft after a long battle with cancer. Myra will be greatly missed largely due to the fact she was so active in not only in the Boston community, but also in philanthropic missions worldwide. I encourage you to check out the details of her involvement with the United Way, Boys and Girls Club, and so many other organizations here.
Myra was also the wife of Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, where she was also very active in the team's charitable efforts. Her passing had such an impact on the team and the NFL community that this season all Patriots players are wearing an embroidered patch on their uniforms in her honor. However at a recent home game in September the Patriots distributed 70,000 MHK custom lapel pins so that fans also could wear a memento of her legacy. All remaining pins are now on sale with the proceeds being donated to the charities she cherished most in her honor. To learn more about these recognition lapel pins please visit this link for more on the story.
This story was a great reminder to me that small tokens such as a pin can carry so much meaning in a simplistic design. We all have tokens and mementos in our personal lives that connect us to a particular event or person that we cherish and want to remember and I think this story proves that.
When we are asked to create pieces of such importance we take a certain level of pride and humility with the request. It is our pleasure to help the remembrance of loved ones, or even just a solemn event. If you are ever in need of such a token, we are only a click away.
