| The Kim & Jason Story |

 |
 Kim & Jason is all about an idea. It's the crazy notion that there is more to life than the hectic busyness, cynical melancholy and overwhelming stress that is typical of most modern lives. Adultitis tricks us into missing out on the best parts of life and causes us to take ourselves WAY too seriously.
We believe that life is meant to be lived to the fullest, that our lives should be bursting with big dreams, oodles of passion, and an enthusiastic playfulness. We believe in curiosity, delighting in the little things, and a faith that knows things always work out for the best. We believe that a life that embraces a childlike spirit is a life that is less stressful and way more fun.
 Now before it was an idea, Kim & Jason started out as a simple love story. Jason Kotecki first drew his lovable characters for his girlfriend Kim sometime before the turn of the century. The couple shared a kindred childlike spirit, and Jason used the drawings, which represented the couple as children, on many homemade (aka cheap) gifts designed to win her heart. Luckily for him, this downright sappy ploy helped him to not only win her heart, but also her hand in marriage.  The characters took on lives of their own and the real Kim and Jason decided to build a company to share the comic strip and its inspiring message. (You can read their blog here.)
At its core, Kim & Jason is about helping grown-ups of all ages to Escape Adulthood, whether it's through a stress-reducing chuckle or a nostalgic reflection of a treasured childhood memory. But just as importantly, we are extremely passionate about making a difference in the lives of children as well.
A good childhood is a precious thing, something every person deserves. Childhood is threatened everyday by things like poverty, disease, and abuse. We're committed to do what we can to help ensure that kids growing up today have wonderful childhoods to look back on tomorrow. That's why we pledge 3% of all merchandise sales to organizations that help meet the needs and improve the lives of children all over the world.
The Lemonade Stand is collection of cool stuff for the young at heart. Our aim is to offer high quality products that are not only fun but also help you to Escape Adulthood, Return to Childhood, and Nourish Families. By the way, we are completely against customer satisfaction. Satisfaction is such a grown-up word. We want you to be absolutely thrilled -- stoked, even -- with everything you purchase from us. That's why we proudly offer Boompa's 100% guarantee.
So thanks for stopping by, and remember, it's never too late to have a second childhood. Hopefully Kim & Jason will serve as a beacon, reminding you of that joyful, magical, indomitable spirit that still exists within you, and giving you permission to let that spirit come out to play. May you embrace the idea that a giggle is never far away, good things are just around the corner, and a grand new adventure awaits!
