Making a difference sustains her

"Discovery Toys have been a part of my home and work life for the past 20 years. As an Occupational Therapist with special needs children and a mom of 4, I have loved and played with the classics as well as the new products with "all of my children". Discovery Toys provides me with the ability to give to children something that they may not get from another toy--educational value, durability, safety, skill development and opportunities to use their imagination! In fact, I had the chills with excitement to be able to help a relative find the perfect gift for a very special little boy in her life. The little boy had very limited use of his arms/hands and legs. Knowing the exceptional value and unique qualities of many of our products, I could not wait to show her what I had just for him. The Countdown Racer was the perfect gift! There is nothing like the feeling of being able to enable that little boy to play like his brothers with a really cool race car. Discovery Toys provides me with the ability to make a difference in the life of a child! "

Toys for Tots program

TOY BUYERS CAN GIVE TO FAMILIES IN NEED BY SPENDING MORE

Discovery Toys Give Back Hostess Program Aims to Donate $350,000 in Learning Products

(New York, NY), Dec. 2, 2008

When the 30-year-old direct-selling company heard that donations to Toys for Tots were down this year, and that the charity organization would be hard-pressed to deliver gifts to thousands of needy families on their rosters, Discovery Toys quickly mobilized to help fill this shortfall by leveraging the efforts of the thousands of individuals across the country who host Discovery Toys parties in their homes and workplaces.

Shoppers looking for quality educational toys, books, and games for the children in their lives can contribute to families in need by making a purchase at a Discovery Toys party. Explains Cindy Franco, Discovery Toys Vice President of Sales, “When someone hosts a Discovery Toys party, she earns free products based on the level of sales from that party. A party generating $550 in total sales, for example, earns the hostess $100 in free products. Discovery Toys will match this earned free product value and make an equal donation to Toys for Tots.” The matching donation program runs through December 12. The toy company hopes to contribute upwards of $350,000 in new toys to help bring some joy to families who find themselves in need during these difficult economic times. The program affords individuals the opportunity to assist these children without having to trade off dollars spent on holiday gifts. The more someone spends, the higher the contribution.

Shares Rich Newton, Discovery Toys President, “With our distressed economy, so many families have taken a hit financially. Many are eager to help, especially children, but their resources are limited. Our Give Back Hostess program allows customers to contribute to our Toys for Tots donation without having to sacrifice gift purchases for their own loved ones.”
