“Please save the koalas,” urges Ty Warner, Founder and Chairman of Ty Inc, releasing a new Beanie Boo specifically to aid Australian wildlife effected by the bushfires.
Ty, the world’s leading plush brand, has created the Katy Koala Beanie Boo to help endangered Australian wildlife.
100% of all profits from the original sale of Katy Koala globally and 100% of the profits from the Australian distributor, Big Balloon, will be donated to WIRES to help in their work saving Australian wildlife.
“Hopefully, this special Beanie Boo will raise awareness around the world about these devastating fires raging through Australia and will provide help to all wildlife affected by the tragedy,” said Mr Warner.
The Katy Koala Beanie Boo will be available from April at your usual Beanie Boo retailer.
