The Feeney Giraffe Story

What started with a simple giraffe tattoo has become a powerful symbol of kindness, connection, and legacy.

Years ago, Feeney and his friends chose matching giraffe tattoos.

Later, while Feeney was on life support so he could donate his organs, his mom, Kathy, noticed the giraffe tattoo on his ankle. It was far from a masterpiece—but for the first time in days, it made her laugh

That giraffe became a symbol of Feeney's spirit: standing tall, seeing the bigger picture, spreading joy, and lifting others up.

Today, the Feeney Giraffe represents the growing FLP Herd—a community dedicated to making a positive difference. Through FLP designed giraffe tattoos, FLP giraffe socks, acts of kindness, and support of the Feeney Legacy Project, Feeney's legacy continues to inspire others every day.

This June, help us grow the herd and spread awareness that can save lives.

🦒 Stand Tall.
💚 Give Back.

Feeney Needed a Lifesaver

On April 15, 2022, Feeney went into cardiac arrest. The friend he was with did not call 911, and Feeney lost his life.

Standing at her son's bedside, his mother, Kathy, made a promise: Feeney's story would inspire others to act in an emergency, so that no life is lost because 911 is not called immediately.

That promise became the Feeney Legacy Project (FLP).

While Feeney's life was tragically cut short, his legacy continues through the gift of organ donation. As an organ donor, Feeney gave more than 150 second chances to others through lifesaving and healing donations.

Today, Kathy and the FLP Herd are working to keep that promise every day—educating communities about recognizing emergencies, calling 911 immediately, learning CPR, supporting organ donation, and taking action that can save lives.

Every person has the power to be a lifesaver. Together, we can create a future where more people know what to do, act without hesitation, and help save lives in Feeney's honor.

Make the Promise:
I will NOT Be a
BYSTANDER.

I WILL be a
LIFESAVER!
