TORONTO, Dec. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Spin Master Corp. (TSX: TOY), ( www.spinmaster.com ), a leading global children's entertainment company and Liberty Entertainment Group ( www.libertygroup.com ), Toronto's premier hospitality collection, reunited to host the 10th annual Caring & Sharing event.
On December 6th, after a two-year hiatus due to Covid-19, more than 250 volunteers from Spin Master and Liberty Entertainment Group welcomed over 800 kids from the Children's Breakfast Clubs affiliated schools, helping each child select two toys – one for themselves and one to gift to a friend or sibling. Children were then treated to face painting, toy and game play areas, a dance party, and a sit down with Santa Claus followed by a holiday luncheon hosted by the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex.
"Cemented as a Spin Master holiday tradition for over a decade, Caring & Sharing embodies the true spirit of giving," said Tara Deakin, Spin Master's Executive Vice President & Chief People Officer. "We are ecstatic to be back together, celebrating in person, not only bringing joy to the children receiving the toys, but also to our Spin Master volunteers and partners who make the event possible."
Partners for the Caring & Sharing event in support of the Children's Breakfast Clubs include Liberty Entertainment Group who have generously donated their space and staff for the event, and Magen Boys Entertainment who provided the music and dancing.
"We are thrilled that Spin Master welcomed us back to their annual Caring & Sharing event," said Zubeda Nanji, Executive Director at Children's Breakfast Clubs. "Through Spin Master's generosity and compassion, we are able to provide children with not only a gift for themselves but the opportunity to pick out a gift for a loved one. This inclusive approach truly reflects what the Children's Breakfast Club is all about."
