Jazwares Cares, the charitable arm of international toy company Jazwares, donated more than 500,000 of the adorable, squishable toys known as Squishmallows. Jazwares owns the Squishmallows, which was launched in 2017.

“Putting a smile on children’s faces is at the heart of everything we do,” said Laura Zebersky, president and chief commercial officer for Jazwares. “As Squishmallows continues to capture the hearts of fans around the world, what better way to celebrate the third-annual Squishmallows Day than to bring joy to kids who may not have Squishmallows of their own with our largest single Squishmallows donation.”

Where Are the Squishmallows Being Donated?

The Squishmallows will be given to children and families in need across the US, Europe and Australia. Plushes will be distributed throughout children’s hospitals, schools, and Jazwares Cares’ not-for-profit partners.

Jazware Cares’ mission is to support children's health, well-being, and educational development through play.
