Lauren’s Hope Medical ID Jewelry Honored With 25 Under 25® Award

Over 1,400 Kansas City-area companies were nominated for the 2014 class of 25 Under 25®, a selection of outstanding local organizations that have been in operation more than three years and employ fewer than 25 full-time team members each. The 25 winners will be recognized at the annual 25 Under 25® Awards Dinner and Gala and featured in Thinking Bigger Business Magazine.

First-time honoree Lauren’s Hope (www.LaurensHope.com) has been in operation since CEO and Owner, LeAnn Carlson, created a new market segment in 2001 with the innovation of a stylish, interchangeable medical alert bracelet she made for a teenage girl with Type One Diabetes. The company and Carlson, who is one of Kansas City Business Journal’s 2013 Women Who Mean Business class, are being honored for their achievements in five key areas, as listed at www.ithinkbigger.com:

·      Financial stability;

·      Ability to overcome obstacles/adversity/challenges;

·      Community involvement/service;

·      Distinguishing or defining characteristics/qualities;
