Introducing a Lilly Pulitzer Print with Purpose: Penny's Playground

Penny's Flight Foundation was launched in celebration of the short but extraordinary life of Penny Doerge and the qualities that she personified - joy, artistic expression, and unwavering optimism - while bravely living with Neurofibromatosis (NF) since infancy. This meaningful pink and white toile print is full of sunshine and butterflies, honoring Penny's Flight Foundation's mission to “spread your wings, shine your light.” Together, Lilly Pulitzer and Penny's Flight Foundation hope to inspire confidence and optimism, inviting everyone to shine bright while funding much- needed advances in medical research for NF and related disorders. Help us #ENDNF and be a butterfly. 🦋  

“We are thrilled to announce our support for Penny's Flight Foundation through our latest Print with Purpose collection. Our team is incredibly proud to contribute to the important work that Penny's Flight Foundation is doing. The inclusion of the butterfly motif in our design is a heartfelt tribute to both Penny and Lilly, celebrating their shared joy and the foundation's mission. We hope that this collaboration brings awareness and support to the medical research efforts aimed at ending neurofibromatosis (NF) and provides hope to the many families and patients affected by this condition.” Mira Fain, our Chief Creative Officer, Lilly Pulitzer 

“Partnering with Lilly Pulitzer is a true honor and dream come true. Penny grew up wearing and loving all of her Lilly Pulitzer and the bright colors and pretty silhouettes always brought Penny so much JOY, even in some challenging times. We are so thrilled that others will experience the same joy that Penny did, now in her name. Penny’s world was her playground and we look forward to sharing Penny’s playground with the world.” – Kate Doerge, Mother and Founder of Penny’s Flight Foundation.
