The bnplusproject was founded by Jeff and Suzanne in 2020 during the height of the Covid19 pandemic.  Like so many, we had grown weary of the constant negative news that came into our lives via the media and social media.  It was amplified by the pandemic when the media was our only outlet to the world.  And it. was. awful.  We witnessed first hand the effects the nearly constant negative chatter had on ourselves and our middle school aged daughter and her friends. For our own sanity, we made a promise to ourselves to remember to focus on all the good in the world.  When we saw the news advertise over and over their negative "BREAKING NEWS" stories, we would laugh and say "BREAKING NEWS  - THERE IS GOOD IN THE WORLD!"  to each other.  And that's when we decided to take action and the bnplusproject was born. 

Bnplus stands for "Breaking News Positive".  We want to disrupt the negative news cycle and disrupt media and social media addicitons.  We will do it one happy t-shirt and one wellness product at a time!  For every purchase at the bnplusproject, we donate 10% to mental health charities.  Due to our family's personal experience with behavorial health programs for teens, our focus is to support these programs that are sadly financially out of reach to so many teens and families who need help. If someone doesn't have health insurance, these programs can cost as much as $600 per day.  Therefore, our goal is to support behavorial health programs for teens and build scholarships for families whose teens have trouble attending school or being present in the world due to anxiety and depression.  We know that these programs save lives.  We personally have experienced both the feelings of desperation and struggle as well as the welcome relief that can be brought by the right caregivers, doctors and mental health professionals. Help us help others have access to these programs.

We hope you will join us in our fight to remind people that there is SO MUCH GOOD OUT IN THE WORLD.
