All auction proceeds directly support TTF’s Children’s Hospital Play Grants program. TTF’s fundraising goal of $50,000 will fund two or more grants, which will provide the healing power of play to hospitalized children and families in greatest need. In the program’s four years, nearly 60 grants have been funded to impact 500,000 children and families nationwide.
All toy professionals in LA for fall previews are invited to attend “Party with a Purpose,” taking place September 9 at TAO Los Angeles (secure your ticket here). The event is industry’s night to unite its philanthropy to support more children and families in need. Plus, enjoy an exclusive performance from Blues Traveler, networking with industry leaders, and craft cocktails and food.
“Party with a Purpose” is taking place during The Toy Association’s LA Fall Preview market week (September 9 to 13). Visit toyassociation.org/lafallpreview for more information.
