For a fourth year, The Walt Disney Company is donating plush toys featuring its popular Mickey Mouse character to the Red Cross in support of our disaster relief efforts in communities nationwide.
Over the last decade, the use of stuffed animals following a disaster has become a symbol of comfort for disaster victims, especially children. What was once considered a supplemental piece of the Red Cross service delivery plan has now become a priority and thanks to Disney's support, chapters will be able to continue offering comforting plush to local disaster victims.
The Mickeys, which feature a hang tag with Disney information and the Red Cross logo and Web site, are 8" in height and similar to the toys provided to you in 2007.
The Northwest North Carolina Chapter received 144 toys in the initial phase of the plan and will be given away to clients as needed. The number of toys given to each chapter was based on the number of families assisted averaged during FY05-FY07. Thank you Disney!
