The Hero Claws family

BUILT BY OUR FAMILY.

Hero Claws started as a family project. We’re a local St. Louis family of four building a business together — learning about entrepreneurship, creativity, hard work and giving back along the way. Together, we choose the prizes, design the machines, find great local partners and keep Hero Claws running. A portion of the proceeds go toward giving back in the community.

FUN WITH A PURPOSE

PLAY IT FORWARD.

PLAY IT FORWARD.

We believe heroes aren’t just people with capes. They’re scientists, teachers, artists, explorers, athletes, neighbors — and ordinary people who decide to make something better. That’s why a portion of Hero Claws proceeds helps our family build and stock Little Free Libraries around St. Louis, including books that introduce kids to people who changed the world.

Every play helps us put another great story into a child’s hands.
