Good News is happy to speak to Jean Butler, Executive Director of the Toy Industry Foundation. We were introduced to her by our friends at Hugg-A-Planet. The Toy Industry Foundation Mission is:
Our mission is to bring joy, comfort and learning to children in need through the experience of toys and play. Established in 1961, and relaunched by the Toy Industry Association in 2003, we represent the North American toy industry’s efforts to impact the lives of children who are in need due to poverty, homelessness, abuse and neglect, kids with parents in the military, children undergoing treatment for cancer and other illnesses, families suffering from natural disasters, and children with special needs.
With the support of the toy industry, including toy manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and licensors, as well as the general public, we were proud to improve the quality of life formore than 3 MILLION children in 2013 alone!
How do we accomplish our mission?:
• We provide more than one million brand new toys for children in need annually
• We distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant funding to children’s charities annually
• We establish partnerships with national organizations to impact special populations of children in need
Learn more about what we do every day, or see a year’s worth of impact by watching our video, viewing the TIF 2012 Annual Report, 2012 990, or our audited financials.

• Board of Trustees
• TIF Staff
Why Play Matters
The stress and trauma of military life, foster care, poverty, cancer treatments, and the aftermath of natural disasters have profound effects on children’s physical and emotional well-being. When a child is given a new toy, they feel special. They are reminded that someone out there cares about them and wants them to feel loved, and they take pride in owning something brand new that is theirs alone.

The Junior Society Hosts A Holiday Party, Benefitting New York City Mission Society Annual Holiday Toy Drive

admin — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:53:52 +0000

New York City Mission Society’s Junior Society hosted holiday cocktails to benefit their annual holiday toy drive at Pilotage Fun & Hobby, Tuesday, December 3, 2013.

Comprised of young professionals in the New York City Area, the Junior Society supports the mission, vision and values of New York City Mission Society through hands-on outreach, innovative networking and unique fundraising opportunities. As the next generation of philanthropists, including Melissa Berkelhammer, Brooke Laing, Antonella Lemos, Cole Rumbough, and Liz Shafiroff, they support the New York City Mission Society’s goal to improve the lives of children, youth, and families in the city’s most underserved communities.Deeply devoted to the cause, Jean Shafiroff will serve as the honoree for their upcoming benefit gala on Wednesday, March 12, 2013.

With the toy drive event, this year sponsored in part by MarieBelle New York, Baked by Melissa, Insomnia Cookies, Bonito Mezcal, and Früzen Ice, guests had the opportunity to support the toy drive while holiday shopping, as 20-percent of each purchase made was donated to New York City Mission Society.

Joining the Junior Society in support of their annual toy drive were Martin Shafiroff, Roy Kean, Maggie Norris, and Stanley and Leah Rumbough, and many more.

Guests dressed in festive seasonal attire enjoyed holiday cocktails, cookies, chocolate, and cupcakes, while shopping and playing with the many interactive toys of pilotage, ranging from electronic helicopters, airplanes, and cars.

Serving both fun-seekers and enthusiasts across New York, Pilotage Fun & Hobby provides clients with a wide selection of affordable and enjoyable radio control model airplanes, helicopters, cars and boats, games and gadgets.

Pilotage Fun & Hobby opened its doors in March 2012, under the watchful eye of Managing Director William Dickey, who envisioned a destination that offers entertaining, innovative, and most importantly, interactive products to satisfy the needs and stimulate the minds of consumers with discriminating tastes, from knowledge-seeking school kids to city dwellers and parents seeking more sophisticated outdoor activities to share with their children. Pilotage Fun & Hobby aims to introduce a more engaging, gratifying and traditional – though rapidly evolving – form of recreation to a younger generation that is overwhelmed by digital entertainment.

The NYC Mission Society will be accepting donations throughout the entire holiday season, and can be made online at: www.nycharities.org.
