Texas Deer Association Introduces New Charity Campaign for Children

San Antonio, Texas — The state’s only non-profit organization solely dedicated to Texas deer, the Texas Deer Association (TDA), proudly introduces a new charitable program designed to help children in distress throughout the state. For 2008, the TDA is taking a warm and fuzzy approach to connect with children and families in need by providing plush deer toys through direct product donations to children’s charities as well as financial donations based on online toy sales.

With the new TDA Plush Deer Campaign, a percentage of the proceeds from the on-line sales of the cuddly fawns will be donated to Texas-based children’s charities throughout the year, plus TDA will make regular donations of the plush toys to children shelters and various other organizations helping children in need.

“As the leading non-profit organization supporting the health and management of Texas deer, we are always interested in promoting deer and the deer industry, but we also want to help children in our state,” says Karl Kinsel, executive director of the Texas Deer Association. “The Plush Deer allow us to do more than promote deer. The toys allow us to help the infants, toddlers, adolescents and teenagers during a difficult time in their lives and positively impact their futures and that of their children, for the better.”

For example, adds Kinsel, children shelters often provide the basic needs, nutrition, healthcare and safe shelter for children in Texas communities who have been abandoned, abused and neglected. The use of stuffed animals is a big part of helping the children, when they are feeling the most vulnerable and afraid.

“We think the TDA Plush Deer Campaign will be a win-win scenario for us and Texas families in need,” says Kinsel. “We encourage everyone — members and non-members alike — to join us in a show of support.”

The TDA plush deer toys are available online exclusively at www.TexasDeerAssociation.com, however, they may be made available to select retail establishments later in the year. The TDA plush deer sells for $14.95.

The TDA is the only non-profit organization solely committed to improving the quality of Texas deer herds through better habitat practices, modern harvest strategies and use of superior deer to enhance the deer herds. As a part of its public education efforts, the TDA publishes a full-color bimonthly magazine, Tracks, which updates TDA members on current legislative news, deer genetics and game management issues. The TDA also hosts an annual convention and trade show every August featuring fund-raising auctions, a deer auction, golf tournament and other events.
