For over a decade, 17-year-old Maisy Garnett has been raising money to support children at Lucile Packard Children\u2019s Hospital in a fun and creative way.<\/p>\n

At just 7 years old, Maisy began making and selling fur pom-pom and rhinestone headbands called Maisy Puffs. What started as a simple idea quickly grew into something much bigger. As she got older, Maisy began designing her own artwork for the rhinestone decals, transforming her creativity into philanthropy. To date, she has donated more than $21,000 from her proceeds to pediatric cancer research at our hospital.<\/p>\n

\"Four<\/figure>\n

Maisy started Maisy Puffs out of a desire to help young patients undergoing cancer treatment. It enabled her to raise money for a cure while also creating headbands that would help children feel confident and beautiful.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to help all children feel seen, regardless of who they are, while working through a creative process I love, is the best opportunity I could ever ask for,\u201d Maisy says.<\/p>\n

Maisy Puffs come in an assortment of bright colors and bling, adorned with sparkly icons such as unicorns, narwhals, turtles, and ice cream cones.<\/p>\n

Maisy sells them at school events, pop-up shops, and sports games for $25 to $30.<\/p>\n

Thank you, Maisy, for your ongoing generosity. Your commitment continues to bring joy to children while advancing vital pediatric cancer research. To support Maisy and children in our care, visit her online shop<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
