Really Good Stuff Launches "Kids Care & Share" Product Line To Promote Service Learning
Sales To Benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer®
MONTEREY, Calif., Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Excelligence Learning Corp.'s Really Good Stuff business unit has launched an initiative to help teachers engage students in community outreach and service learning. Developed primarily for elementary school students, the Kids Care & Share™ line of Ready-To-Decorate® kits makes it easy for children to create a personalized gift for someone in the community as a way to either show they care, or appreciate their contributions to the community. Creating a special gift for someone in an elder care facility, hospital or homeless shelter will encourage these youngsters to demonstrate charitable behavior towards others. Similarly, saying "thanks" to people in the community, such as a police officer, firefighter or librarian, with a special gift will teach the social awareness that leads to community involvement as they learn why those jobs are so important in their communities.
Commenting on the Kids Care & Share kits, Really Good Stuff General Manager Tim Kochuba noted, "For 25 years, Really Good Stuff has been creating innovative products to help teachers make a difference in students' lives. We believe that by working on these type of projects, teachers will be helping their students develop good character traits that will endure into their futures."
Excelligence Learning President, Dipak Golechha, added "Really Good Stuff has long been dedicated to helping teachers make a difference by creating innovative tools for the classroom. With the introduction of Kids Care & Share, it's now helping teachers make community outreach and engagement central to the lives of their students."
A portion of the proceeds from each kit goes to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (alexslemonade.org), an organization that has encouraged and empowered countless children to get involved and make a difference for children with cancer. Started as an actual lemonade stand by an inspirational young cancer patient, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation has raised more than $150 million to fund much-needed childhood cancer research.
Kids Care & Share kits are available now at www.kidscareandshare.net and are featured in catalogs that will be in-home October 2nd.
