HEARTS OF GOLD PRESENTS KAUZBOTS!

I want a Kauzbot! Kalvin - the Hearts of Gold Kauzbot $24.99

Launched in 2009, Kauzbots is a new line of handcrafted plush toy robots designed to inspire kids and adults to make a difference in the world. With 10 bots being released in 2009, each 18” tall Kauzbot is a ‘robot with a heart’ that is passionate about a particular cause, ranging from pediatric AIDS to autism to the protection of the environment. 10% of the retail price (MSRP of $24.99) from the sale of each Kauzbot and accompanying apparel is donated to the non-profit organization that is associated with that bot’s cause, indicated by an accompanying tag on the product.

The sale of Kalvin, the leader of the Kauzbots, will benefit Hearts of Gold and its work to improve the lives of more than 350 children and 230 mothers annually at three Manhattan shelters. Hearts of Gold also helps mothers and their children as they transition from these shelters to permanent housing through its Alumni Support Program.

”We believe that our relationship with Kauzbots is a great way to bring attention to the needs of women and children who are without homes and often victims of domestic violence,” stated Deborah Koenigsberger, founder and executive director of Hearts of Gold. “We are passionate about empowering mothers and children toward self-improvement and independence as they move from homelessness to the shelters to permanent housing.”

So how can you help? Buy a ‘bot! You can purchase yours from the Hearts of Gold office at (212) 627-1750, or using the 'Buy Now' button above.

For those who feel really adventurous, host a bot party! It’s the same principle as a Tupperware party… get all your friends in on the KAUZE!
