The Girl Who Loves The Nutcracker
There’s an 11-year-old girl named Clara who loves The Nutcracker more than anything in the world. She’s the kind of kid who still believes in magic — who twirls around the living room pretending to be the Sugar Plum Fairy, who hums every piece of Tchaikovsky by heart, who counts down the days until December when the ballet lights up the stage again.
A few months ago, Clara’s world shifted. She was diagnosed with leukemia.
The kind of diagnosis that stops time.
School paused. Dance classes paused. Her parents stopped sleeping.
But Clara didn’t stop believing.
The Sweatshirt That Became a Symbol
When we heard Clara’s story, something inside us cracked open. Her light, her joy, her courage — all wrapped up in a little girl who still believes in happy endings — made us want to do something tangible.
So we created something for her.
A sweatshirt the color of oatmeal cream, as soft as a memory, with vintage Nutcracker characters printed across the front — the kind of design that feels both nostalgic and full of hope. Every detail was chosen with her in mind.
Because this isn’t just a sweatshirt.
It’s a love letter to the girl who refuses to stop dreaming — and a call for all of us to help make those dreams real.
A Couple Hundred Sweatshirts. One Life.
Here’s the most staggering part:
If just a couple hundred sweatshirts are sold, it could fund the treatment that might save Clara’s life.
Imagine that — something so small, so simple, carrying the weight of something so enormous.
Each sweatshirt sold means another night of care, another round of medication, another day that Clara gets to keep believing in the world she loves so much.
Why We Believe in Clara
Clara believes in The Nutcracker because, at its heart, it’s a story about courage, love, and transformation. It’s about facing the darkness and finding magic anyway.
She believes in the characters — in the idea that wonder can win.
Now it’s our turn to help her live that story offstage.
Every purchase of The Clara Sweatshirt is a chance to step into her story — to become one of the people who made sure the magic didn’t fade when life got hard.
Be Part of Her Story
This sweatshirt was made for Clara. But it’s also made for you — for everyone who wants to wear something that means something.
When you put it on, you’re wrapping yourself in her hope. You’re saying: I believe in magic, too.
All proceeds from The Clara Sweatshirt go directly to her family to fund her leukemia treatment.
Because sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can become the biggest miracles.
A couple hundred sweatshirts. One beautiful life. Infinite hope.
