Budsies Fundraising Event

Through our Budsies Pals program, we raise money to make plushies for children who are critically ill or injured along with those who require ongoing care. For the entire month of May, all Budsies Pals funds raised will go to The Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas to cover the cost of a night’s stay for a family and the opportunity for a child to get a FREE custom Budsies. 

To donate, visit our Budsies Pals Fund or sponsor a child directly with a Budsies Pals Kit.

How It Works

We believe in using our magical abilities to directly benefit children.
  • Sponsors make tax-deductible donations through the Budsies Pals/RMHCC Fund, established through the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay, or can choose to purchase a Budsies Pals Kit (not tax deductible) to send directly to the RMHCC.

  • All funds raised will go to RMHCC to cover the cost of a night’s stay for a family and a FREE custom Budsies.

  • The Drawing Kits include a free voucher for a personalized stuffed animal, so they can create their own huggable buddy at no cost to them.

Learn More About the Budsies Pals Fund

The Budsies Pals Fund is designed to build strong partnerships with non-profit organizations, and other local organizations that are striving to make a difference in the lives of children. 

With the Budsies Pals Fund, we are able to donate, as well as connect with individual and corporate sponsors to raise even more funds for children.

The Fund is established through the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay, which helps with administration and grant-making. Thanks to one of our sponsors, Budsies was able to present an initial funding check to the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay in the amount of $10,000 to launch the Budsies Pals Fund. If you are looking to support our community efforts with a monetary donation please click the donate button. Any amount helps! 

Donations to the Budsies Pals Fund go directly to bringing joy to kids in our community.

Thank You.
