PITTSBURGH, Pa (PTTP) – Stephanie Lemieux is the founder of Little Moo, a clothing line for infants and toddlers. Little Moo also sells luxury, customizable blankets.
NHL superstar Mario Lemieux, Stephanie’s father, founded the Mario Lemieux Foundation in 1993 after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s disease.
Little Moo has partnered with the Mario Lemieux Foundation to raise funds for cancer research and enhanced patient care.
“I wanted to include philanthropy with the brand just because those values were instilled in me from as far back as I can remember,” explains Stephanie.
As such, a portion of Little Moo’s sales are donated directly to Austin’s Playrooms. Mario and Nathalie Lemieux developed this project after their son, Austin, spent 71 days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Austin’s Playrooms aim to provide young patients and their families a safe, enjoyable environment inside medical facilities.
“It means a lot to the brand and it means a lot to the Lemieux Foundation and Austin’s Playrooms and the kids and the families you’re directly helping by purchasing Little Moo,” says Stephanie.
