letter from the executive director P.3
To our friends,Children are so many things. Innocent. Impressionable. Vulnerable. Above all, they are dependent upon others for support and love to guide them through their childhoods. Countless children face enormously difficult circumstances every day, and no matter how resilient they may seem, knowing that you care about them and are rooting for them makes all the difference.
How do we show we care? In addition to our national and local grant initiatives, we deliver the magical gift of play directly to children who are in military families, foster care, children’s hospitals, or suffering from the effects of poverty or natural disasters. I’ve personally handed more toys than I can count to children going through difficult times, and the looks on their faces say it all—thank you for this really fun toy! But more importantly, thank you for remembering me. Thank you for giving me a chance to play and forget about my troubles for a while.
It is thanks to the support of our caring community of donors that we had a groundbreaking year in 2014, serving more children than ever before through toys and grants!
I’m excited to share with you this 2014 Year In Review so you can see for yourself the difference that you make for children who need you most.
Exciting plans are already underway in 2015 to expand our impact through our first-ever direct service program, which will launch later this year. The new undertaking—Prescription2Play—will deliver a revolutionary play program directly to children’s hospitals to help children and families cope, heal, bond, and create lasting memories during an often frightening and unpredictable experience.
With your ongoing support, the Toy Industry Foundation will continue to grow and serve more children across the nation and around the world. Thank you for taking us to new heights!
With the utmost appreciation,Jean ButlerExecutive Director

“The children seemed confused at first. A new, free toy was too good to be true. I’m so glad that we were able to see them smile when they learned they did not have to give it back. Those moments were wonderful!”
–Sally HedgpethMother of Six
“Daniel got his bubbles last May and here it is late August and he still grabs the bottle and wand before anything else. Who knew that such a simple toy could bring so much joy to this beautiful little boy!”
-Monica Hicks-JenkinsFoster Parent

Thanking Military Families for
Their Sacrifices
Our nation’s heroes come in all sizes, which is clear in the sacrifices that the children of our service men and women make every day. Frequent moves and long separations are common, and the fear of losing a parent in battle is all too real. Toy donations from across the toy industry and special “day of play” events with games, music, entertainment, and more, give them a respite and show our appreciation.

“For the children to be able to go up to the tables and select their very own toy was very memorable. You truly get to see where each child’s interests lie and how empowered they felt in making their own choice. Watching their faces light up was something I will never forget! They were all just thrilled!”
–Tinker Air Force Base staff member
“I am taking my toy to San Diego in my suitcase!”

TIF NATIONAL PARTNER:
Reminding FosterChildren That They Are
Not Forgotten
Hundreds of thousands of children across the U.S. are in the foster system at this very moment. After being rescued from abuse or saved from abandonment, these children are often caught in the web of the family court system as they await placement in a safe, loving, and permanent home. Multiple foster home placements are common, leaving these children with few adults to depend on and very little to call their own. Toy donations and TIF grant funding aim to change that and give them a reason to smile, laugh, and play.
8
TIF NATIONAL PARTNER:
"Unfortunately, many foster children do not get new toys that are just for them. They often get the used leftovers or have to share. Foster children are just as special and important as my very own children and it was amazing to see the pure joy on their faces as they received new toys to call their very own. Thank you to the Toy Industry Foundation for making this day so amazing!"
-Shelly HartProgram Director
CASA of Northwest Arkansas
$175,000 in grant funds from TIF to CASA to fund toy distributions and training for one-on-one volunteer advocates for foster children.
80% of CASA programs served reported that toy donations gavethe children something to hope for
"Too often the children we serve leave their home with just a few things in a bag. Having toys of their own helps to bring a sense of normalcy and belonging."
-Tara GrossCASA Outreach Coordinator
173 volunteers gift-packaged toys for
6,000 foster kids in 1 dayat our annual
Play Your Part event
100% of toy donations relieved financial strain for
foster parents
80,000+childrenin foster care were given new toys in 2014

By funding three community organizations in 2014, we expanded their capacity to improve the quality of programming for children in need in their neighborhoods.

“The grant from the Toy Industry Foundation will help Hephzibah expand Sibling Camp to include more foster children who will benefit from the opportunity to spend time with their siblings and to enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities that most have never experienced, including zip lining, boating, swimming in a lake, and sitting around a camp fire telling stories and having s’mores!”
-Deliah ButlerCo-Director of Hephzibah
Children’s Association’s Sibling Camp,which brings together siblings who
have been separated within the foster care system
“Receiving this generous grant will allow the good work of the children's center to continue. The children who come to this respite are treated with invaluable quality time, care, and love. Reading to the children each day allows for curiosity and imagination. Each child goes home with a book. The small window of time spent with these children will hopefully make their life a little easier and let their imaginations soar to new heights.”
–LindaVolunteer at North Shore Child & Guidance Centera free daycare center for children whose parents
must attend court hearings
