GUND Launches "How Do You Hug" Charity Campaign
/EINPresswire.com/ -- EDISON, NJ--(Marketwired - February 17, 2016) - GUND is proud to present the How Do You Hug campaign, a social media-driven charitable effort that transforms expressions of love into real-world comfort for children in need. GUND fans can participate by sharing joyful messages on social media via the How Do You Hug companion website. Each shared message fills up our "Hug-O-Meter" -- for every milestone reached, GUND will make a donation of stuffed animals to a prominent charitable organization.
"At GUND, we make more than just stuffed animals," said GUND President Bruce Raiffe. "We make special friends that inspire joy and comfort in people of all ages. The How Do You Hug campaign celebrates the healing nature of the hug, and will further our goal of making the world a more huggable place."
