Our Mission

Woody’s Drive Over Diabetes

Woody’s Drive is our commitment to making Wears Woody do more than make great products. Inspired by our founder Mike’s experience living with Type 1 diabetes, we donate a portion of every sale to nonprofit partners supporting research, advocacy, access, community, and care for people impacted by T1D.

Why We Drive

A mission built from personal experience.

Woody’s Drive started with Mike’s experience living with Type 1 diabetes and his belief that people with T1D should be encouraged to chase their wildest dreams. What began as a brand mission has grown into a year-round commitment to support organizations helping the T1D community live with more confidence, connection, and possibility.

How It Works

Every purchase helps move the mission forward.

We donate up to 3% of every sale — online and offline — to nonprofit partners working across the Type 1 diabetes community. That support helps fund the research, programming, resources, and connection that make everyday life better for people and families impacted by T1D.

Research & Advocacy

Supporting organizations working toward better treatments, expanded resources, improved access, and long-term progress for the T1D community.

Community & Family Support

Helping create spaces where families, kids, and individuals living with T1D can connect, learn, and feel less alone.

Programs & Possibility

Backing partners that create outdoor experiences, mental health support, education, technology access, and real-life opportunities.
