Cup Board Pro is deeply connected to the Young family's heartfelt story of loss and resilience. Following the passing of their mother to breast cancer and their father to a 9/11-related illness, Kaley and Keira Young found strength in carrying on their parent's legacy. By continuing the product their father started, they have created more than just a cutting board – they have crafted a legacy that honors their parents' memory and supports those in need.

    [06:05] - "My dad always used to say that there's a distance between you and your countertop while you're prepping. So that's where the cup fits perfectly between you and your countertop." ~ Kaley Young

    [11:11] - "We hear people all the time telling us how much they love the Cup Board Pro, and they think of our dad every time they use it. That aspect is special for us, just to be able to carry on how amazing our dad was." ~ Kaley Young 

    [12:09] - "Twenty percent of our piece of the cutting board goes to the FDNY Foundation, a charity that's close to our hearts. Being able to give back to that is really important to us." ~ Kaley Young
