Jazwares launches limited-edition Squishmallows to support American Cancer Society

Jazwares has debuted Stephamos, a limited-edition Squishmallows plush created to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

Launching later this month, Stephamos is a blue and yellow phoenix, with 100% of net proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society.

“At Jazwares, we believe in making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families through play,” said Laura Zebersky, President at Jazwares.

“With this special Squishmallows, we have the opportunity not only to support the American Cancer Society’s critical mission but also bring smiles to patients and their families when they need it most.”

In addition to the direct-to-consumer launch, 2,500 Stephamos Squishmallows will be donated to American Cancer Society Hope Lodge communities nationwide.

Nickki Reeves, ACS SVP for Enterprise Corporate Partnerships & Sports Alliances, added: “Stephamos Squishmallows bring hope, healing and hugs to families facing cancer. We’re grateful to Jazwares for creating ‘Stephamos’ and helping brighten the days of people facing cancer and their loved ones.”
