A Tampa Bay family has launched a new apparel business called Sulli that focuses on inclusive comfort wear for all individuals. The company was created by Suzanne Sullivan after watching her daughter Sophia, who has Down syndrome, thrive in the Shining Stars cheerleading team at the Land O=Lakes Recreation Complex. Sophia gained confidence and friendship through this all-inclusive cheer squad that welcomes athletes regardless of their abilities. Sulli is named after Sophia and aims to create a sense of belonging for everyone who wears it. From every sale, the company donates $3.21 to support inclusive youth cheerleading programs, symbolizing the 321 chromosomes associated with Trisomy 21. This initiative helps fund uniforms, equipment and competition opportunities for youth across the community.
