Giving Back

A message from the owner of The Surprise Inside:

Giving back to the community is one of the core values of The Surprise Inside. We believe in the importance of giving back to the community, as well as banding together to make a difference. These are the organizations we are currently involved with:

Make-A-Wish Foundation

I have been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation as a volunteer for over 13 years. There is nothing more fulfilling than helping to make a wish come true for a child. It is also an incredibly inspiring experience to witness the strength and hope that families challenged with life-threatening illnesses posess.

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Jimmy Fund

Dana-Farber is a world renowed cancer research and treatement institution in Boston, Massachusetts. I have been involved with this world-class organization for over 10 years, participating in fundraising events and volunteering. I lost my father to a rare form of cancer in 2002, as well as far too many friends and loved ones. Incredible progress has been made in curing many cancers in the past 50 years, and with ample funding, hopefully we can make cancer a thing of the past.

Proceeds from the sale of Woof & Poof's Molly Doll and A Mother's Arm clothing are donated directly to cancer research and treatment.

Loaves & Fishes Toy Drive

This will be our 4th year of organizing a toy drive to benefit Loaves & Fishes, an organization that provides, food, clothing and necessities to people in need. This year our focus will be on helping to provide needed gifts for pre-teens and teenagers.
