Did you know our 3rd @buildingbraveteams book is officially licensed by @iowastateu ❤️💛 So many meaningful elements of this story are a part of ISU, so it was very important to me to have the permission to tell this story in this way. A special thanks to the ISU Trademarking office for being so supportive and encouraging throughout the writing and creative process! This book will soon be YOURS, 10/8/26 📚 #bravecommunity #support #isu #football #pediatriccancer by @buildingbraveteams

🗓THE DATE HAS BEEN SET 🗓
Book #3 in our Building BrAve Teams' series, "Building My BrAve Community..." will be published and available for purchase via Amazon on 10/8/26 ((a special date as it is Sage's Birthday)) 🎉❤️💙💛

You've probably asked yourself the question; "How can I help...?" in the aftermath of a cancer diagnosis. This book provides tangible ideas, encourages readers to take action, use their voice, and become an advocate. Our story may be unique, but we hope that on October 8th, more seeds are planted to help kindness grow 🌱

Every Iowa State football player has their "why."

Aiden Flora's "why" is three things: his family, his faith and Sage, a younger brother he never had.

@JakeBrendTV shares the full story of how learning perspective from Sage brings joy throughout @aidenflora2's life. by @buildingbraveteams

@pellawndoors held their Leadership Retreat yesterday, a day for their team to make an impact in their community.💛🥰 @pinkyswearfoundation was the selected nonprofit partner to make a difference in the lives of families facing pediatric cancer. PSF reached out to @buildingbraveteams to partner with them and @loveyourmelon on creating care packages for these families.💙🧡 WOW! What a powerful room to be in. Every person we met was genuine, kind, and compassionate.🥹🤩 I had my sidekick & BBT mascot, #SagerStrong with me & he impressed the VP, CEO, and most importantly his MOM 😉 with handshakes, eye contact, and lots of conversations. He drew names for the raffle, and was awarded his own prize at the end of the program. The shock and pure joy when he heard @jaylenaraynor_ say his name… and then his brothers… something I won’t soon forget! The level of detail, thought, and care that went into this event was incredible… and I am THANKFUL! It takes a team ❤️💙💛 #braveteam #pediatriccancerawareness #communityimpact #isufootball by @buildingbraveteams
