A Note to Our Partners:
"I started Lumpy Bones because I believe every child deserves a hero and every teacher deserves to be recognized as a Champion. When you join us as a sponsor, you aren’t just a donor—you’re a partner. I will personally connect with you about our strategy to implement and report on how your investment made an impact. Together we can make a difference"

At Lumpy Bones Company, our mission for 2026 is as clear as it is bold: to bring The Mad Dash journey into 500 classrooms by the end of the year. While our heart and roots are firmly planted in Rhode Island, this is a movement built on the belief that every student deserves a story of optimism, and every teacher deserves the support of their community.
