Scottish Rite for Children Announces First-of-Its-Kind Collaboration with By Way of Dallas

Opportunity will allow kids to have custom prosthetic devices with influencer-designed artwork

The world-renowned pediatric orthopedic experts at Scottish Rite for Children and in-demand fashion brand By Way of Dallas have launched a collaboration to bring influencer-designed artwork to Scottish Rite's patients who use prosthetic devices. Each year, tens of thousands of children across the country use prostheses, but options for customized devices that allow for self-expression are limited.

"Scottish Rite's remarkable mission of giving children back their childhood through the very best care goes beyond our medical and technological expertise," said Robert L. Walker, president and CEO of Scottish Rite for Children. "Scottish Rite for Children is thrilled to collaborate with By Way of Dallas through artwork contributed by advocates to give our patients the ability to celebrate their individuality and keep them active and happy."

Scottish Rite's in-house team comprises the leading experts in creating tailored prostheses for each child, regardless of a family's ability to pay. With this new partnership, kids will have the opportunity to customize their prostheses with fashion-forward designs to help support important aspects of their social, emotional and psychological well-being.

"I love playing volleyball with the By Way of Dallas design on my prosthetic arm," said Shaleigh, a patient at Scottish Rite for Children. "No matter what new activity I want to try, Scottish Rite always helps make it possible for me to play."

"To inspire the kids who inspire us — that's our goal," said Hance Taplin, founder and creative lead of By Way of Dallas. "Prostheses are beautiful extensions of an individual, and we hope to remind each kid to live boldly and champion movement with a bit of extra style."

As the collaboration continues, By Way of Dallas hopes to keep adding custom influencer designs for patients who use prosthetic devices at Scottish Rite for Children.

Scottish Rite and By Way of Dallas marked the official launch of the line with a celebration at the Scottish Rite for Children Orthopedic Hospital in Dallas on September 14, 2023.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
