It's green nose season: What to know about Logan's Nose-On and the speakers at the lunch.

SOUTH BEND — Logan Community Resources has announced that the father-son duo Mark and John Cronin will be the keynote speakers at its Great Logan Nose-On Luncheon at noon March 26 at Century Center, 120 S. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.

The Cronins co-founded John’s Crazy Socks in 2016, when John asked his father to partner with him in a new business as John prepared to graduate from high school and Wilson Tech, where he studied retailing and customer service.

John, who has Down syndrome, is the leader and the face of John’s Crazy Socks, a specialty sock company that sells “fun” socks, which John has worn and collected his whole life.

Headquartered in Farmingdale, N.Y., the company donates 5% of its earnings to Special Olympics, hires people with differing abilities and builds its workforce around them, and partners with charities to offer discounts for the charities’ supporters when they purchase from the company’s website.

In 1988, Logan came up with the unusual idea of selling green noses to raise money and awareness in support of its mission to serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Logan’s annual Nose-On fundraiser also is underway with green noses, shirts and other related items available for purchase, including, this year, The Great Logan Nose-On Socks designed by John’s Crazy Socks.

Tickets for the luncheon are $100. Ticket sales close March 19.
