Playthings.com Writes on Fighter Mom Friday and Toy Industry Foundation

posted on April 11, 2008 in FighterMom News

An article about Fighter Mom Friday appeared this week on Playthings.com, a toy industry website. The piece discussed the Toy Industry Foundation’s generous grant of $35,000 to help fund the Fighter Mom Friday event.

The grant and event sponsorship is the first time that the Toy Industry Foundation has worked with Fight SMA. The workshop will provide parents of children with SMA “a ‘fighting’ attitude as well as the motivation and tools to more actively advocate for their children,” according to TIF.

“The Toy Industry Foundation is delighted to work with Fight SMA to sponsor an event that provides new insights to parents of children with special needs,” said Jean Butler, executive director of the Toy Industry Foundation. “Both organizations have gathered experts from relevant fields to serve as resources to parents who want to do what’s best for their child and may not know exactly what that is.”
