Queetles Plush Toys Supports CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) Charitable Cause
Online, June 24, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The toy's initial launch was a simple one - a comfort toy donation to bring awareness to kids' suffering in the many children's hospitals of this nation.
Queetles, Inc., then continued to amaze by stepping up its energy and producing its first e-book series (The Making of a Great Big Kid), an animation in the works and, now, reaching out to help others draw attention to causes that are near and dear to their heart.
In their most recent contribution, Queetles, Inc., has designed a Flagship Charitable Program for the public.
If you love these colorful, magical critters that hail from the rainforest, with their signature yellow hair, you can now become part of the process by having a Queetle specifically designed to help bring awareness to your cause.
Whether that cause is environmental, health-related or a school youth project, Queetles can provide a window to your charitable success.
The most recent Flagship cause was presented by Mrs. Ara Hunt of Texas, a CHD (congenital heart disease) patient who wants to raise awareness of the parents and children who suffer from CHD.
As Queetles creator Lorenza Lydia explains: "This is yet another way for us to help educate the world and attract financial support for the many causes that in some way affect us all.
It was a great pleasure to meet Mrs. Hunt and discuss the real difference she wants to make in the lives of the people she has championed.
Individuals like Mrs. Hunt who commit to bringing awareness to their cause receive no financial gain from our program. Instead, our company writes the checks directly to their charitable foundations. These special angels do it simply because they want to make the world a better place."
Most large firms with the ability to provide this type of program choose not to, and most causes cannot afford to do so, because the cost to put such a program into production could amount to
thousands of dollars.
Queetles, Inc., takes the bite out of the cost through its willingness to bring all special Queetles under its umbrella by fronting three-quarters of the start-up cost. "To
us, it will never be about the cost. It's about the cause," Mr. Lydia affirms.
But what will contributors receive? For a purchase price of less than $25, each contributor will receive a specially designed keepsake Queetle equipped with a Talkback module, a Qcoon sleeping pouch, batteries, an adoption tag linked to the special cause's Facebook page, and a cause-related Queetles poem written by Judith Myers. With a pre-production commitment of only 250 friends, family and supporters, their dream becomes a reality.
"I could not be more proud of the people we meet, and the passion that drives them and their supportive members," says Mr.Lydia.
As to the value of the specialized Queetle, a Google search of any well-designed talkback toy (whether it's a mimic parrot or a singing Elvis) will show that the cost for such a toy starts at
$39.99 or more. At less than $25, these personalized Queetles with a cause are not only a true collector's item, but are a great value, as well.
Queetles, Inc., has started what we hope will be a movement within the industry to support wonderful, worthy causes tied directly to a social media campaign, for the benefit of all.
