The Olivia the Brave online store fundraiser was started to honor her beautiful spirit and give back to special organizations and initiatives at the Families' choosing. Throughout the designs and pieces, which include adult and children’s apparel, stuffies, mask, drink tumblers and more, you will see a common theme of green hearts and sunshine. Olivia brought a beam of brightness with her wherever she went. Green was her favorite color and green hearts quickly became a signature for Olivia.

In Olivia’s short life she accomplished so many incredible things that have deeply impacted anyone that knew her, her family and hundreds of families across Canada.
