Flip flop company Hari Mari, visited Cook Children’s Medical Center to distribute flip flops to children fighting pediatric cancer and their families as a part of the company’s “Flops Fighting Cancer” initiative.
The ‘Flop Drop’ was held in Cook Children’s atrium, where kids in the hospital’s Oncology and Hematology units, as well as other patients, were outfitted alongside their family members with new Hari Mari flip flops.
“It’s a day we look forward to every Summer and more so, a privilege to have the ability to meet some of the brave kids that are being treated there. Cook Children’s Medical Center is an amazing facility with an incredible staff and we’re honored to be a small part,” says Co-Founder Lila Stewart.
A key component to Hari Mari’s DNA is their “Flops Fighting Cancer” initiative. Hari Mari donates one percent of sales on every flip flop purchase to support kids battling cancer by helping to pay for medicine, treatment and hospital costs for families who can’t afford it.

ABOUT HARI MARI FLIP FLOPS
Hari Mari was founded in 2012 by Jeremy and Lila Stewart, and born out of the couple’s time spent in Indonesia, where each worked on projects related to bettering kids’ lives. Moving back to the States and wanting to continue to help children, the couple recognized an unmet need for comfortable & colorful flip flops at a premium level. The idea for creating a quality-driven flip flop brand that would support kids was born.
Seeing a lot of companies helping children abroad, Hari Mari decided to focus its efforts in the U.S., and was stunned to discover pediatric cancer is the most fatal disease among American children, more fatal than all other childhood diseases combined. It clicked from there. Hari Mari’s commitment now sees 1% of sales going to support kids battling cancer. It’s called Flops Fighting Cancer.
Hari Mari flip flops are available on HariMari.com, as well as many boutique, specialty, outdoor, surf, yoga and running retail locations, including Nordstrom, REI, Zappos, to name a few. Hari Mari is based in Dallas, Texas.
