Hasbro Canada is donating 5,000 French Scrabble board games to the Montreal Community Cares Foundation this holiday season. This contribution, valued at more than $140,000, will be donated to the nonprofit organization’s Cares and Shares program.
Hasbro aims to spread joy to kids and families in underserved communities during the holiday season and supports the community through numerous efforts during the year including toy and game donations, financial support, and volunteering.
“By donating these games, Hasbro is helping to foster learning, growth, and positive memories,” says Greg Ferguson, Vice President of Marketing for Hasbro Canada. “Hasbro classic games such as Scrabble, Monopoly, and Clue not only bring families and friends together for fun and meaningful social interaction — they also reinforce educational benefits such as literacy, math, and problem-solving skills.”
“We are extremely grateful for Hasbro’s donation to Montreal Community Cares Foundation,” says Lorie Geddes-Reid, Program Director for Montreal Community Cares Foundation. “The donation of these games will be distributed to youth in local schools and community centers across the island of Montreal, allowing us to continue in our mission to build resilient youth through the power of sports, education, and community.”
