Award-winning educational toy companies live their mission by giving back to communities around the world
The family of award-winning educational toy companies, Learning Resources, Educational Insights, and hand2mind lived their mission of bringing learning to life in many ways last year, including through charitable donations. These toy companies’ donations benefited a wide variety of philanthropic organizations around the globe.
“Our mission is to bring learning to life. We passionately believe in helping parents, teachers and children worldwide. One of the ways we do this is by partnering with numerous philanthropic organizations, supporting charities around the world,” said Sari Winick, Chief Marketing Officer at Learning Resources, Educational Insights and hand2mind. “We hope that our donations enable learning opportunities and make education accessible to all children, regardless of their circumstances.”
The educational toy companies continue to support longtime partner organizations like Kids In Need Foundation, Toys For Tots and more. The family of companies have always supported communities in crisis, this year providing donations to support relief efforts for Israel and Maui, similar to previous crisis efforts with Ukraine. The Chicago based company also participates annually in giving initiatives in the local community, including the WGN-TV Toy Drive.
