Shenanigans Will Lose Their Lease!
Donation protected
Shenanigans Toys, Maplewood's go to shop for fun playthings for kids of all ages is about to lose it's lease!
Established 25 years ago under another well known name, we are now struggling to keep our doors open.
Within a matter of days we must raise the funds to remain a "servant" of this wonderful community.
I have refrained from this method of fund raising, because as a community you have sustained us. Without your patronage and continued support throughout the years, the store would not have continued.
As I have said many times before, I am beyond grateful to this community for allowing me to have a business here and to be a part of your lives and your children's lives.
It has been an honor to participate in your school fund raisers, charity drives, and the many other events that Maplewood and the surrounding areas do to better our community.
I have been lucky enough to use my accesiblity to our community to help the children of the area when possible. We raised money to assist a family with medical bills for their child with leukemia, sent a student on her class trip when her family couldn't afford for her to go, built a changing area for the diaper wearing tots in town, donate toys to kids in shelters and try our best to donate toys to each school that asks. And of course there are the millions of high fives, smiles, jokes that we offer just by stepping in the door.
Now I must ask for a small bit of generosity in return.
I ask for nothing more in life then to continue to work in a community like Maplewood. To be a watchguard for our children. A parent told me recently, that when her son is in town he knows that if he feels scared or is in trouble or needs anything he knows he can come to Shenanigans and we will care for him until his mom comes. There are no words to express what an impact on my heart that made!
In return, for any donation made, I will offer a 10% code to you good for one calendar year! As well as a free pass to any class or activity that we do. Including our Teddy Bear Tea Parties and Pokemon Classes.
There would never be enough ways for me to say thank you. Caring for the children in our community in any way that I can has always been and WILL always be my goal. Being able to provide fun, educational, creative products to enrich their lives is my way to reach out.
Please know that with every donation not only will you have my endless gratitude, but a spot in my heart and the store.
Let's go another 25 years and more!
