"The entire Boyds family is proud to donate 20,000 bears to the Toys for Tots program this year," said Jean-Andre Rougeot, Boyds' Chief Executive Officer. "Boyds bears bring comfort to so many of our customers and we wanted to extend those bearhugs to those children in need this holiday season."
This marks the fourth year Boyds has made a sizeable donation to the area Toys for Tots campaign. This year, Boyds donation was the largest corporate donation of products in Pennsylvania.
"We really appreciate what The Boyds Collection, Ltd.® has done for us this year. It's been a year where cash and toy donations are down nationally and Boyds donation came at such a critical time," said Bill Grein, Vice President of Marketing and Development for the Toys for Tots Foundation. "This donation will help reach thousands of children who wouldn't have a happy holiday otherwise." |
