Big E Toys Buy One, Give One Charitable Campaign Runs Through May 31

Big E Toys Launches One-for-One Charitable Campaign
“Buy One, Give One” Stumblebum Campaign Will Benefit Toy Industry Foundation Charitable Efforts

PLYMOUTH, MN — April 13, 2010 — Buy One, Give One. The premise is simple. For every Stumblebum® charades game purchased at www.bigetoys.com through May 31, 2010, Big E Toys will give a Stumblebum game to a child in need.

“Philanthropy has always been important aspect of our organizational goals,” says Chip Engdahl, The Big E of Big E Toys. “It’s integral to our overall mission. Our Buy One, Give One campaign is simply an effort to do even more for children in need.”

The Buy One, Give One campaign from Big E Toys will benefit The Toy Bank of The Toy Industry Foundation (TIF). The TIF, in conjunction with its logistical partner Gifts In Kind International, operates The Toy Bank and distributes toys and games on an ongoing basis to children in need throughout the world. Big E Toys has been a proud supporter of The Toy Bank since its inception in 2003 and was recently named a Toy Industry Foundation Power Player because of our ongoing support of their programs.

The Big E Toys Buy One, Give One campaign is a true One-for-One campaign. Consumers don’t pay more for Stumblebum simply because Big E Toys is giving one away. “The Buy One, Give One campaign is a great opportunity for consumers to get a great game like Stumblebum for themselves, but also do some good in the process,” says Mr. Engdahl. “With the help of Stumblebum fans throughout the country, I think we can bring a little more fun and joy to kids in need.”

Buy One, Give One. It’s that simple.
