The Walt Disney Company Kicks Off Annual Disney Toy Delivery Program Supporting Children’s Hospitals across the U.S. in Celebration of the Studio’s Upcoming Release “Toy Story 4”
Disney Toy Delivery Program to Reach 450 Children’s Hospitals
BURBANK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This past weekend, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) kicked off its
annual Disney Toy Delivery, a part of the Disney Team of Heroes
philanthropic initiative, at AdventHealth for Children in Orlando,
Florida. Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear, and Tom Hanks, the
voice of Woody, from the upcoming film Toy Story 4 were present
and helped to bring some joy to the patients at AdventHealth for
Children by distributing toys to kids and families. Patients also were
pleasantly surprised with photo opportunities with Toy Story
characters and toy giveaways.
Each toy delivery includes a pallet’s worth of toys, games, books and
comics that hospitals use throughout the year to share with patients.
Products are specifically selected to be most beneficial in helping
promote normalcy, reduce stress, and inspire play during what can be a
difficult time for children. This year’s delivery will include new
products from Toy Story 4, which is set to open in theaters on
June 21.
“The Toy Story films celebrate the importance of toys in a
child’s life – they are a source of comfort, joy and consistent
companionship,” said Elissa Margolis, senior vice president, Enterprise
Social Responsibility for The Walt Disney Company. “By delivering toys
to children’s hospitals across the country we hope to raise the spirits
of children facing serious illness and make their hospital stay a bit
more comfortable.”
Sending toy deliveries to hospitals has been a Disney tradition for
nearly 15 years. With the help of the Association of Child Life
Professionals and Starlight Children’s Foundation, Disney sends hospital
care packages annually to 450 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. This
year, as part of the Disney Team of Heroes Toy Delivery program, more
than $3 million in Disney products will be delivered to children’s
hospitals across the U.S.
“Children in the hospital, along with their families, are experiencing
one of the most stressful times in their lives,” said Dr. Rajan
Wadhawan, senior executive officer of AdventHealth for Children. “At
AdventHealth we are focused on providing whole-person care, and our work
with The Walt Disney Company allows us to bring our patients special
experiences that are a welcome distraction from the physical illnesses
they may be suffering from and also help to heal their spirit.”
The toy deliveries and the special visit to AdventHealth for Children by
cast and characters from Toy Story 4 are all part of Disney Team
of Heroes, the Disney philanthropic initiative focused on reimagining
the patient and family experience in children’s hospitals across the
globe.

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia
SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.
The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.
Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.
“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”
Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
