Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (try saying that five times really fast) has announced today that its new partnership with the popular children’s game, Moshi Monsters and will be launching a special charity tin aiming to raise £100,000 to give support to the hospital’s British Kidney Patient Association.
The GOSHI MOSHI (now try to say that five times fast) tin is a limited edition from UK toy company Vivid and will contain exclusive metallic blue ‘Moshling’ collectors’ items. You can purchase these miniature metal monsters from high street retailers priced £9.99 with £3 from every limited edition tin sold being donated to the charity itself.
By bringing out 35,000 limited edition tins to the stores, Mindy Candy, the masterminds behind Moshi Monsters and alongside with their partner toy manufacturer Vivid, they hope to be able to raise at least £100,000 to the new hospital that will give care and aid to children with problems ranging from kidney failure to patients needing a transplant or those on dialysis.
CEO and founder of Mindy Candy, Michael Acton Smith said, “We are excited to launch the new GOSHI MOSHI tin and hope to help raise lots of funds for the center. We left the visit feeling really inspired by the patients, their families and the dedication and skill of the staff. The hospital means so much to so many people and we’re very proud to be supporting the charity.”
“it was wonderful to see the Moshi Monster putting smiles on the faces of patients and families at the hospital,” said Antonia Dalmahoy, Director of Corporate Partnerships at Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, “Not only are we really excited to be receiving donations from the sales of the GOSHI MOSHI limited charity tin, it is also wonderful to be working with one of the fastest growing children’s brands worldwide. Every family that buys this product will be helping very ill children with kidney conditions treated in our Children’s Kidney Center.”
