Meet Orion, our dedicated combined Bullying Prevention & Teen Suicide Awareness Puddle Kitty, proudly featured in our Resilience & Hope Pack. This sacred character is lovingly designed in honor and deep remembrance of a former high school bandmate who tragically took his own life at the age of 16 due to the devastating impact of severe bullying.

Orion's memory has been etched forever into the heart of the designer and the heart of every single one of us who were in band with him. Every year, we tell his parents that Orion is not forgotten. This pattern stands as a living, permanent testament to that promisecombining both advocacy themes into one unified figure to serve as an unyielding beacon of safety, mental health resilience, and protection for youth navigating heavy shadows.

His crown is worked in solid Yellow for suicide prevention hope, transitioning into a solid Orange face for bullying prevention unity, and dropping into a solid Lime Green body baseline. He is completed with a tiny, low-sew miniature snare drum stitched directly to his chest to celebrate his position on the marching band drumline, sitting beautifully clean and stable exactly as he is.
