We’re On A Mission
Bored No More is a non-profit organization founded by Taylor Brady (right) and Alexis Brady (left). Our mission is to engage volunteers to provide fun and reduce anxiety for two groups: pediatric patients (via our "Kids Care" bags) and rescue animals (via our "Pet Packs" bags), full of intentionally chosen toys and games.
We address mental health, stress, loneliness, and more, providing scientifically proven items to reduce anxiety and help with the overall well-being of those we reach.
Quick Facts:
- Teen-founded nonprofit by sisters Taylor Brady and Alexis Brady, young entrepreneurs making an impact throughout the U.S.
- Based in Gladwyne, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia.
- We donate fun toys to kids in hospitals called "Bored No More Kids Care" tote bags ($50 each) that help alleviate anxiety and create happy times for pediatric patients.
- Taylor Brady launches "Bored No More Pet Packs" ($50 each) full of fun toys and "Adopt Me" bandanas for dogs and cats in animal shelters to make their experience less stressful, more enjoyable, and help them get adopted quicker.
- Impact & Reach: Over 13,500 people & animals throughout the U.S., from Bryn Mawr, Ardmore, and Conshohocken, to Maui, Palm Beach, Hartford, Miami, and more, with over 300 volunteers. We are creating a playbook on marketing, fundraising, and events.
- Goal: To expand to 12 chapters including California, New York, and other states.
- Purpose: For children stuck in a hospital bed and animals waiting in a shelter, anxiety and boredom can make an already hard situation feel unbearable. Bored No More directly addresses that giving pediatric patients engaging activities that bring comfort and distraction during scary medical stays, and providing shelter animals with enrichment and supplies that ease the stress of kennel life. The goal is simple, to alleviate stressful, anxiety-filled experiences, and provide comfort and joy. Please join us in supporting this goal by donating today!

Our History
At Bored No More, we understand firsthand the challenges of being a child in the hospital. Our cofounder, Alexis Brady, had a hospital procedure as a child and had an extended stay. She looked for ways to pass the time and try to experience some joy.
That answer came about from an elementary school project, where she decided to raise money and create gift baskets for fun activities for kids experiencing the long hospital stays that she could relate to. We know how long and boring those days can be, and that’s why sisters Taylor & Alexis started this charity. Our hope is to bring joy, fun, comfort, and health & wellness to kids facing similar struggles.
