The Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) is shining the spotlight on the leaders in our toy donor community.  These PowerPlayers exemplify the foundation’s mission to provide joy, comfort and learning to children in need through the experience of toys and play. They have demonstrated their charitable spirit and inspirational outlook through significant and ongoing support of TIF’s Toy Bank.

iToys

iToysThanks to their generous and ongoing support of The Toy Bank, TIF is excited to announce iToys, Inc. as a PowerPlayer in 2010.  A family owned company, and one of Canada’s largest toymakers, iToys is committed to providing quality toys for all.  Knowing that all kids need play in their lives, and the impact it has on learning and development, the company has donated to The Toy Bank every single year since the program began in 2003. 

“iToys, Inc. (Irwin Toy) being in business for over 84 years, and a fourth generation toy company, we understand kids and the need for play to be part of their daily schedule,” says George Irwin, Chairman & CEO.  “Anything we can do to help children learn, develop and have fun through using toys is what makes this industry the best place to work.  Plus, it’s nice playing Santa Claus every day!”

iToys most recently contributed 10,000 toys for foster children across the country for the second year in a row for the Foundation’s Do Good Stuff-a-Thon.  Thanks to their support, TIF and national partner the My Stuff Bags Foundation, have been able to bring play to 20,000 more children in need than would have otherwise been possible.

TIF is grateful to iToys for their generous support.  We are proud to work together to make a difference in the lives of children in need.

USAOPOLY

USAopolyFor USAOPOLY, philanthropy and the business of play go hand in hand, which is why TIF is proud to name the company a 2010 PowerPlayer  A consistent Toy Bank supporter, USAOPOLY donates to The Toy Bank annually and came through when their help was needed most for a recent Play Comforts event.  In May, TIF and national partner Boys & Girls Clubs of America Military Services distributed toys to thousands of military family members in San Diego.  Thanks to a generous donation of games from USAOPOLY, plenty of toys for the hundreds of teens who attended were available.

"USAOPOLY is happy to contribute.  We feel that we – and the industry as a whole -- can have a significant impact on those less fortunate.  Especially kids!,” says Marketing Manager Jeanette Best.  “Every child should have toys and games to play with.  Kudos to TIF for helping to further that cause."

TIF would like to say thank you to USAOPOLY for their dedication to giving the gift of play to children who need it most, and for their help in bringing joy to kids of all ages.
