The Caring Valley™

Featured Charities

Webkinz World™ members now have the chance to learn about 4 new charities when they plant virtual trees in The Caring Valley™. Webkinz World, the leading children’s online world, introduced The Caring Valley to help members learn about giving while they plant and play. Webkinz Foundation will be making donations to each charity after their section of the valley is fully planted by members. The new featured charities:

Special Olympics: Special Olympics is the world’s largest movement dedicated to promoting respect, acceptance, inclusion and dignity for people with intellectual disabilities through sports.
