Phoenix, Ariz. —As families across America gather this Thanksgiving around tables full of joy and togetherness, we’re reminded that every child deserves the same joy of belonging. That’s why Messy Table Games is kicking off this holiday season by partnering with the Center for the Rights of Abused Children. With every game sold, including Booty Dice, A Lotta Axolotls, and French Goats in Trench Coats, this collaboration will raise resources to give more children safe and loving homes. Going forward, Messy Table Games will also include the Center’s story inside every game box, so people nationwide will open their favorite games and discover how they, too, can help children.
“When companies like Messy Table Games get in the game for children, it’s a game-changer,” said Darcy Olsen, Founder & CEO of the Center for the Rights of Abused Children. “We all want to help children in crisis, but it’s hard to know where to begin. We created the Center so that together, we could all do more for children.”
Co-founder of Messy Table games, Eric Olsen, Darcy Olsen’s brother, said, “I watched my sister take in ten children over the past 14 years, and now proudly call four of them my nieces and nephews. All children deserve to be as loved as they are, and it’s a great feeling to be part of that work…it’s also easier than babysitting.”
“Thanksgiving is about family, joy, and belonging,” said Jeff Argast, co-founder of Messy Table Games. “We all want to Play it Forward for children who need it most. We’re excited to kick off this collaboration!”
