Texas Toy Company Giving Away Every Other Toy It Makes to Sick, Abused and Homeless Texas Children
Between now and December 24, Stickman Stew LLC®, maker of a line of iconic plush stick figures, is donating toys to kid-friendly non-profits in Dallas and other Texas communities. “Brightening the lives of children is what the holiday season is all about,” says Stickman Stew’s founder.
ROCKPORT, TX—This time of year, it’s easy for people to become pre-occupied with their own holiday celebrations. But one small start-up Texas toy company is celebrating the Christmas season early by giving away every other toy it makes to sick, abused, homeless or neglected children who’ve had more than their share of challenges so early in their young lives.
Between now and December 24, Stickman Stew LLC, the Rockport, Texas maker of a line of iconic plush stick figures called STICKMAN STEW® and THE GOLD HEART CREW,™ will donate one toy for every toy purchased online to kid-friendly non-profits throughout Texas.
In Dallas, non-profit Children’s Cancer Fund received the toys on behalf of kids with cancer and Children at Risk, a research and public policy group that advocates for children.
“Brightening the lives of children is what the holiday season is all about,” said Jane Guinn, founder of the plush-toy company and creator of Stickman Stew. “We decided the best way to celebrate the upcoming holiday season was to ‘pay it forward’ and give away toys to kids who could use a little sunshine.”
Both organizations said they are extremely grateful for the toy donations. “We love the toys,” said Camille Cain, Children’s Cancer Fund’s development director. “They smile at you and are so happy. We’re excited for the kids to get them.”
Other Texas non-profits receiving toys are Houston Children’s Charity and Neighborhood Centers, Inc. in Houston; St. PJ’s Children’s Home in San Antonio; CASA of Travis County in Austin, and The Salvation Army in Amarillo.
Kid-friendly non-profits throughout the state interested in receiving free toys can contact Stickman Stew by visitinghttp://stickmanstew.com/non-profits/. For social media aficionados, Stickman Stew is promoting the toy giveaway with the hashtag #SpiritOfChristmas.
STICKMAN STEW toys are based on the iconic stick-like figures cavemen drew on their caves 20,000 years ago and kids still draw today. “Parents like our toys because they don’t require batteries,”said Guinn. “They’re powered by a kid’s imagination.”
STICKMAN STEW recently won the Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) Seal of Approval, from America’s largest volunteer testing company.
