DOUGLAS Does Good
At DOUGLAS, we believe in giving back. We value our community here in our hometown of Keene, New Hampshire and are proud to support a number of local non profit organizations as well as others around the nation. The gallery below features a sampling of some of the past charitable events with which we’ve been involved. When you purchase DOUGLAS plush, you are supporting our outreach efforts. Thank you for helping us help others. We love sending our stuffed animals out into the world with the goal of making it a softer and happier place!
TD Bank & HKS Realtors – Special Olympics of NH 2024
To celebrate the Special Olympics of New Hampshire’s annual Penguin Plunge, members of the community can stop by TD Bank Keene and purchase stuffed animals that DOUGLAS has donated to help raise proceeds that will support the efforts of this fantastic non profit organization!
Good Friends – Feeding Tiny Tummies 2023
Another holiday season and another collaboration with the Savings Bank of Walpole and WKNE led to the raising of $37k, this year donated to Feeding Tiny Tummies, a non-profit organization that works to provide meals for children of Cheshire and Sullivan counties. We applaud their hard work and are happy to have had the honor of donating to the cause!
Camp Good Grief 2023
Helmed by Danielle Lalehzar, DOUGLAS received the opportunity to support Camp Good Grief through a donation of hundreds of our plush puppies. This Long Island, NY camp was created to provide help and guidance to children who have experienced the loss of a parent. Our pups were assigned to campers to serve as comfort companions and mementos of their healing week.
Good Friends – M.U.C.H. 2021
Proceeds of nearly $30k were donated to M.U.C.H. (Monadnock Understands Child Hunger) after our holiday 2021 Good Friends fundraising campaign with the Savings Bank of Walpole and WKNE! We donate the plush and the good people of the Savings Bank of Walpole, WKNE, and the community do the rest!
Great Grey Tee Project – Cheshire Medical Center 2020
Sales from the purchases of limited edition DOUGLAS tee shirts created through Keene’s Bulldog Design and Printing Firm went to the Cheshire Medical Center to help with their COVID-19 related needs.
Good Friends – M.U.C.H 2019
The recipient of the Good Friends donation from the 2019 holiday season was our local M.U.C.H. (Monadnock Understands Child Hunger). This organization works to feed hungry children in Cheshire County. We were thrilled to donate hundreds of our stuffed animals for such a worthy cause!
Good Friends – Salvation Army 2018
The 2018 holiday season saw us teaming up again with the Savings Bank of Walpole and WKNE for another awesome Good Friends campaign! Together, we were able to raise money for another donation to the Salvation Army!
Good Friends – Salvation Army 2017
We regularly team up with the Savings Bank of Walpole and WKNE as part of the holiday Good Friends campaign. We donated plush to the campaign that took place over the 2017 holiday season and helped contribute to a donation of nearly $26k to the Salvation Army!
Non-Profit Animal Organizations 2017
We awarded four of our retailers who placed orders with us at Toy Fair 2017 checks of $500. Each of these four retailers then selected a deserving non-profit animal organization of their choice as the recipient of each donation.
Monadnock United Way 2017
In 2017 DOUGLAS was one of the Pace-Setter companies for Monadnock United Way’s campaign, which means that our company donated 28% more in 2017 than the year before!
