All About The Kids

In the fall of 2007, Ganz initiated the “All About The Kids” campaign. In this program we donated Webkinz® pets and laptops to children in hospitals. Our target group of children is those who are bed bound and can not go to communal rooms where there might be a computer. The use of a laptop enables the child to participate in the interactive wonders of the Webkinz World® site, and spend some of their time in the hospital in a fun, enjoyable manner.

When Webkinz Foundation was formally created, responsibility for this program was transferred there. As of May 2008, Ganz has donated over 17,000 Webkinz pets and 100 laptops to thirty-nine hospitals in the US, and seventeen hospitals in Canada. The program has recently expanded to include the donations of items to family shelters.
