We are honored to share Chris’s story. Chris met his wife, Cindy, while coaching Special Olympics. Cindy’s brother Bruce, who had Down Syndrome and was very involved in Special Olympics, became both his best friend and a treasured part of their family. After Bruce’s recent passing, Chris is giving each woman in his family necklaces to honor Bruce’s memory.

Our Story

My name is Robyn Zimmer. As a mother of a child with developmental differences I am well aware of the many challenges faced each day by people with chronic illness, physical, emotional and developmental disabilities. The people and organizations that helped shape my son into the happy young man he is today inspired me to design the Embrace The Difference® symbol. That symbol has turned into a signature jewelry, apparel and home goods line and its purpose is to give back. My mission is two fold: spread a message of kindness, and give back to your local organizations. To date, we have donated over $450,000!

A single square embraced by circles reminds us that we’re all connected, no matter what difference we may have.

We currently have over 100 local and National Charities that benefit from Embrace The Difference®. You choose the Charity that receives your donation.
