TIF Holds Luau in NYC for RMHC®

On Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 the Toy Industry Foundation hosted a luau for the children and families staying at the Ronald McDonald House of New York City.  TIF and TIA staff joined the House residents on their sunny terrace, which was transformed into a Hawaiian paradise.  Donning leis and skirts, attendees enjoyed pineapple topped pizza, built sand castles, blew bubbles, and decorated their own beach toys.  A hula hoop contest even capped off the event, which was a great success!

TIF would like to give special thanks to Funrise, Inc., Spin Master, Ltd., Just Jump It and Oriental Trading Company for donating toys and other items for the event; Toy Industry Association volunteers; and Ronald McDonald House Charities of NYC, Inc. staff, volunteers, and families.
