Swirl of Hope Partners with Smell and Taste Association of North America to Boost Support for Long COVID Smell and Taste Disorders

Atlantic Beach, NC – May 15, 2024 – Swirl of Hope (SOH) is pleased to announce a financial contribution from the sale of SOH products to the like-minded Smell and Taste Association of North America (STANA).

Swirl of Hope is dedicated to providing support, awareness, and resources to individuals affected by Long COVID-19, particularly those experiencing post-COVID smell and taste disorders. STANA is a patient advocacy group focused on improving the quality of life for people with smell and taste dysfunction since the loss of taste or smell can affect health, safety, and emotional well-being. Together, SOH and STANA can raise more awareness and call for research funding, education, and treatments for people experiencing the invisible loss of these senses. 

Swirl of Hope plans to donate ten percent of all proceeds from its “Shop” to STANA. The SOH Shop features a variety of products showcasing SOH’s “Swirl” logo. Wearing or displaying products with the Swirl symbol is not just a statement of solidarity but can also help advance the causes championed by STANA and SOH.

The Founder of Swirl of Hope, Pam Flynn, expressed her alignment with STANA’s mission, stating: “Swirl of Hope strongly supports the efforts of STANA. Both organizations have very similar objectives. Indeed, the loss of my ability to taste and smell after experiencing COVID-19 in 2021 inspired me to establish Swirl of Hope.”

“We are very appreciative of SOH’s generosity. We look forward to finding ways to work alongside SOH since our organizations share a commitment to raising awareness about smell and taste loss,” noted STANA President Katie Boateng. “I also have lost my ability to smell and perceive flavor so STANA’s work is very personal to me. Financial support like SOH’s is critical to STANA’s ability to carry out our mission, and we are incredibly grateful for SOH’s support.”
