We're not endorsed or affiliated with these charities, we just like 'em!

Take Your Squishy to Work Day 2011
Fans took Squishables to their workplace on August 24, 2011 to take photos and raise money for charity!

Kiva
Squishable has a Kiva account to provide loans to small businesses in developing countries. Come see what we're sponsoring! Woo!

Prototypes
Unused Squishable design prototypes are donated to the Stephen D. Hassenfeld Children's Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders. Once there, the one-of-a-kind Squishies are given to kids after a long hard day of treatment.

"The team at the Hassenfeld Center just received the Squishables you sent. To quote them directly, 'We gave them to the kids this morning—needless to say—they loved them!'"


Coverage

Our Fair Trade Red Robots were covered by the BBC! Best quote:

"When we first saw one we just started laughing," the supervisor Mazimat Poli Begum says. "We had never seen anything like this before in our village, we don't even have a word for it."
