TOEBEANS RUN CLUB · FOR THEM. FUR-EVER.

DOGS CHANGE OUR LIVES.
LET'S CHANGE THEIRS.

They never ask for much.

A place to sleep. Something to eat. Someone to love.

And somehow, they give us everything.

They get us through the hardest days. They teach us patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. And when they’re gone, they leave paw prints on more than just our floors.

ToeBeans exists because we believe every dog deserves the chance to mean that much to someone.

01 · WHY

THE LOVE THEY LEAVE US.

They get us through hard days, teach us patience, and make ordinary moments unforgettable. Every dog deserves the chance to mean that much to someone.

02 · HOW

MOVE. BELONG. GIVE.

We bring people together through movement and community, and create quality apparel that helps support animal shelters.

03 · WHAT

A BRAND WITH PURPOSE.

We're starting with 100 Founder’s Shirts and an open invitation to join the pack—no purchase or pace required.

THE STORY THAT STAYED WITH US

ONE DOG. ONE PROMISE.
THOUSANDS OF STEPS.

At the 2016 Chicago Marathon, a chance encounter introduced us to the story of Max—a service dog whose love changed a veteran’s life.

Even after Max was gone, his person kept running with Max’s name on his shoe. A promise to keep moving forward, one step at a time.

That story stayed with us. Years later, it helped inspire ToeBeans.

THE MATH BEHIND THE MISSION

GOOD GEAR. REAL IMPACT.

Here's what your purchase means—and why we're building this without a personal profit goal.

$30Price per Founder’s Shirt
$10+Committed to shelter support per shirt
$1,000+Giving goal if all 100 sell
8 of 100 Founder’s Shirts sold92 to go
8%

At least $80 committed to shelter support from these eight shirts. Contributions are not yet reported as donated.

No personal profit is the goal. The remaining revenue helps pay for the shirts, branding, processing, and other business costs. We intend to direct all net profits to animal shelters. If costs leave less than $10 available for shelter support from a shirt, the founder will personally cover the difference.

Giving amounts are commitments, not donations already made. Calculations apply to completed, non-refunded shirt sales. Shipping and applicable sales tax are separate. We will publish verified giving updates.

A LITTLE RUN. A BIG REMINDER.

SOMETIMES THE DOG FINDS YOU.

A lost dog named Buddy crossed our path on a run. Helping him find his way home reminded us why ToeBeans exists: every dog matters, and every connection counts.
