Texas Deer Association Makes 'Doe-nation' to The Children's Shelter
SAN ANTONIO - As the state's only non-profit organization dedicated to Texas deer, the Texas Deer Association (TDA) recently donated dozens of plush deer toys to The Children's Shelter in San Antonio. Stuffed animals are often used to help children who are in need or in distress due to abandonment or neglect, and TDA's cuddly fawn toys with their special eartags always bring smiles.
The TDA presented the plush deer to Oren Dreeben, president and CEO, and Anne Zbinden, vice president of community relations, for The Children's Shelter. Also in attendance were Shelter staff member Mike Vela and TDA representatives Karl Kinsel, Marta Ramos and John Meng.
"As the leading non-profit organization supporting the health and management of Texas deer, we are always interested in promoting deer, but we are part of a larger community too and we also want to support better care and promote awareness for the Texas children in need," says Karl Kinsel, executive director of the Texas Deer Association. "Whitetail and mule deer hold a special place in the hearts of most Texans and these little toys certainly bring smiles to the faces of a lot of children who are in need of special care and attention."
The TDA Plush Deer Program brings a warm and fuzzy approach to connecting with children and families in need. TDA directly donates the toy deer to various children-based charities in Texas and also makes the special-tagged fawns available for purchase online at www.TexasDeerAssociation.com. The TDA plush deer sells for $14.95 with a percentage of the proceeds from the on-line sales donated to Texas-based children’s charities throughout the year.
The Children's Shelter and other children service agencies across the state provide the basic needs, nutrition, healthcare and safe shelter for children in Texas communities who have been abandoned, abused and neglected. The use of stuffed animals is a big part of helping the children, when they are feeling the most vulnerable and afraid.
The Children's Shelter is a private, non-profit, nationally accredited corporation that has been providing services to San Antonio and Bexar County since 1901 and it was the first locally based child service agency in South Texas. The Children's Shelter's services have expanded from emergency shelter care to a continuum of care of emergency shelters, foster care, adoption, residential treatment care, child abuse prevention and teen pregnancy programs. The Shelter is a United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County agency, and is affiliated with the Texas Alliance of Child and Family Services.
The TDA is the only non-profit organization solely committed to improving the quality of Texas deer herds through better habitat practices, modern harvest strategies and use of superior deer to enhance the deer herds. As a part of its public education efforts, the TDA publishes a full-color bimonthly magazine, Tracks, which updates TDA members on current legislative news, deer genetics and game management issues. The TDA also hosts an annual convention and trade show every August featuring fund-raising auctions, a deer auction, golf tournament and other events.
