One of the most rewarding parts of owning a business is the ability to give back to those who need a smile the most, children! Twice a year we donate our toys to children's hospitals or shelters (once in the summer and than at Christmas time). 
This summer we have selected one of my favorite hospitals, St. Judes Hospital (http://www.stjude.org/) in Memphis, TN as the recipient of our donation. St. Jude is completely unique in their pediatric treatment of children. They have made numerous discoveries that have helped change how children are treated for cancer and other like diseases. Please take a few moments out of your busy day to look at their website, and read their literature. It will change your life forever.
As an owner of a collectible/antique business, you have to be fully aware of the selection of toys you donate, as there have been many safety changes in toys over the years (most vintage toys are only suitable for displaying purposes).
Because of this dynamic, I have decided the best toys to donate will be our reproduction toy line. Giving is something that everyone should take seriously and think about (whether you own a business or not). If you are fortunate enough to be walking around healthy, I believe it is your duty to help others that are not so fortunate.
Please consider giving to those who need. Remember, there is always somebody in the world worse off than you are, and giving simply does make you feel better (it’s not just a cliché).
