I AM LOVED® is popular with drug awareness and resistance programs and drug-free curriculums in schools. I AM LOVED® also carries a strong message to people striving to overcome addictions.

Hospitals are frequent distributors of I AM LOVED® buttons. Many brave children…patients who can’t be released for the holidays…and others who need get-well cheering have been “pinned.”

When Charles Schulz’s Snoopy mentioned the I AM LOVED® sentiment in a comic strip, Barnett Helzberg sent some of his buttons to the famous hound and his creator. Like Lucy suggests, many organizations including schools and shelters have used the button message to build self-esteem. I AM LOVED® has helped schoolchildren boost their academic achievement and battle peer pressure.

Former Little Rascals star and TV personality Jackie Hope (Taylor) Fries, is now a minister and chaplain at a California facility for Seniors. Known as Reverend Hope, she uses I AM LOVED® buttons in her ministry and spreads love, caring and sharing throughout the senior citizen communities in California and Nevada. Rev. Hope also speaks to caregivers struggling to support Alzheimer’s patients. She gives I AM LOVED® buttons away at all her speaking engagements and shares buttons with her senior citizen congregations. Rev. Hope tells us she sends a button with any mailers or autographed pictures she sends to nostalgic fans.

Churches and other support groups give away the majority of I AM LOVED® buttons. The I AM LOVED® message has also been spread by professional athletes, literacy advocates, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, bowling leagues, bunko groups, and reluctant bachelors! The button speaks for them all!

Requests for I AM LOVED® buttons always increase in February. The buttons make wonderful Valentines!
