LEAWOOD, Kan., Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- DEMDACO, a leader in unique designs and artisan gifts online and in stores nationwide, today announced its pledge to support Children's Mercy Kansas City. As part of this collaboration, DEMDACO will donate a portion of proceeds from the sales of its signature Giving Bear™ to Children's Mercy Kansas City to further support their ongoing mission: to transform the health, well-being and potential of children with unwavering compassion for those most vulnerable. DEMDACO is thrilled to further help spread joy, comfort and love to the children of Children's Mercy, a haven of care and kindness for kids in need.

"DEMDACO has always been dedicated to lifting the spirits in consumers," said Dave Kiersznowski, CEO of DEMDACO.  "As we look to further our purpose pursuing business as a human endeavor, it was an easy decision to bring a little comfort, a little safe and a little brave to children going through trying times. Childhood health, care, research and innovation are vital to transforming the lives of young people around the world today, and we couldn't think of a more worthy organization to join forces with than Children's Mercy."

For the young or young at heart, DEMDACO's signature Giving Bear™ is a best-selling keepsake for those in need of sympathy or support. Each bear is designed with thoughtful features to bring consumers peace and love. The Giving Bear™ is a part of DEMDACO's Giving Collection™, a series of feel-good mementoes that deeply lift the spirits with products made from soft fabrics that comfort the body and hug you back.

Beginning this month, a percentage of sales from each Giving Bear™ will be donated to help care for the patients and families who enter the doors of Children's Mercy Kansas City.
