Reward Bravery.
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to act in spite of it…”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt
We are a non-profit in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area that provides toys to local Children’s Hospitals, Urgent Care Centers, and Clinics to help Children and Families through difficult medical procedures.
We believe in supporting children, families, and their healthcare workers by providing simple toys to help them through challenging health journeys.
About Andrew’s Bravery Box
Andrew’s Story
Andrew lost his battle with a congenital heart defect in 2019 at age 6. Throughout 8 hospitalizations and 7 procedures, we learned the value of positive rewards to help him through the toughest of procedures. We want to help other families with their journey.
