Reminder: TOTY Tribute Book Deadline – January 9
January 3, 2013 | Celebrate a year of outstanding
top toys, industry icons, and philanthropy by reserving an ad in the
2013 Toy of the Year Awards
(TOTY) Tribute Book, the official take-home program for guests
at the Awards ceremony (Feb. 9th) and the Toy Industry
Foundation’s (TIF) most critical fundraiser of the year. The
deadline to reserve an ad is Wednesday, January 9th.
Proceeds from ads sold in the Tribute Book directly support
the Toy Industry Foundation’s mission to bring play into the lives
of children in need. TIF depends on Tribute Book ad sales to
fuel all of its programs for the year, including The Toy Bank, the Play
Connects community grant program, its national partnership with Boys
& Girls Clubs of America Military Services to provide support and
relief for children of military families, and its new national
partnership with CASA for Children to provide toys and trained volunteer
advocates for children in the foster care system.
“Thanks to the outpouring of support from the toy industry
during last year’s Tribute Book ad campaign, TIF was able
to bring play into the lives of more than 1.8 million children in need
in 2012,” said Marisa Medina, TIF manager. “We’re
depending on the same level of support this year to make our programs
possible in 2013.”
Placing an ad is also a wonderful way to commemorate a TOTY Awards
nomination or honor this year’s inductees into the Toy Industry Hall of
Fame.
