Product Donors

Cause Marketing Program

Many of our Corporate Partners help promote the K.I.D.S cause with promotions that benefit children in need. We mutually create promotions that yield in a donation of their products to K.I.D.S. These promotions are proven to create goodwill with the consumers whose purchase enables them to “give back in brand new ways”. Kayser Roth, Stride Rite, Garnet Hill, Scholastic and Lord & Taylor are some of our product donors who are participating in making these promotions a reality.

Kayser Roth

As part of the launch of its innovative nonsense, a division of Kayser-Roth Corporation, and a leading manufacturer of legwear and sleepwear, will donate one million pairs of new socks to children’s charity Kids in Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.). No nonsense’s nationwide initiative, “Socks for America,” will distribute new, comfortable socks to children and their families in need throughout the United States, with special donation events scheduled to take place in 12 cities beginning in July 2011. This program expands No nonsense’s 2010 effort that donated 250,000 pairs of socks to local communities. “The ability to help others through the work of K.I.D.S was a great success last year. Our employees were keen to not only continue with this program but build upon it in 2011,” said Andrea Angelo, Director of Marketing for Kayser-Roth.

Lord & Taylor

Join K.I.D.S. and Lord & Taylor in helping children in need go back to school this Fall. Donate school supplies at any Lord & Taylor store from August 10th-22nd and help children with the supplies they need to focus on their education.

Also shop and purchase items in any of Lord & Taylor's children's departments August 10th-22nd, and a % of the proceeds from all sales will be donated to K.I.D.S. to provide new products to families in need.

Garnet Hill

Garnet Hill has partnered with K.I.D.S. for several years on product cause marketing. In Fall 2011, they will donate $20 in merchandise to K.I.D.S. with each customer’s outerwear purchase up to $50,000. The promotion will run from September 7- October 25th. They will promote through their catalog with outerwear, in an e-mail banner, and through social media.

Stride Rite

Stride Rite and K.I.D.S. have had a successful charitable relationship for five years.
This relationship and Stride Rite’s charitable giving have continued in 2011 with several NEW Cause Marketing Promotions that have resulted in product donations to K.I.D.S.
Stride Rite supported N.Y. K.I.D.S in June 2011 day by donating 2500 pairs of shoes and promoting the event on their Social Media Platforms.
On July 27th 2011, they promoted our revamped FACEBOOK page to assist us in gaining new friends and donated 2 pairs of shoes for each new friend we gained. This resulted in a donation of 1100 pairs of shoes.
Stride Rite continues to make a deep impact on children and families throughout the United States and globally, including much-needed support to children affected by natural disasters in The Unites States and abroad.
