Meet the newest and most adorable edition to the Hasbro Furreal Line of animals, the precious special edition Project Zambi Elephant. This soft, charming toy is full of interactive opportunities from "shaking" your hand and blowing sweet kisses with his trunk, to responding to your touch. Best of all, Zambi is not only a terrific addition to your child's play toys but he also spreads an incredible message. Retailing at $49.99, the artwork used to create Zambi's adorable ears and feet were specially designed by children impacted by AIDS in Africa. Even more special is the bracelet which is included with your purchase that features the same art work.

“It is encouraging to see that companies such as Hasbro are developing initiatives to support global health issues,” remarked Alicia Keys. “Through my involvement in this project, I’m proud to support Keep a Child Alive, an organization dedicated to providing care and support to children and families whose lives have been affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India by directly engaging the global public in the fight against AIDS.”

"The wonderful support that we’ve received from the celebrities participating in the PROJECT ZAMBI auction is a moving example of the deep concern surrounding the issue of caring for children orphaned by AIDS,” said Brian Goldner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hasbro, Inc. “We are very hopeful and optimistic that this auction will be successful in raising awareness and generating funds that will support some of the many dedicated organizations working to make a better future for these children.”
Earlier this year, Hasbro launched PROJECT ZAMBI, a global cause initiative tied to the new special edition FURREAL FRIENDS ZAMBI THE BABY ELEPHANT toy that is dedicated to raising awareness and benefiting programs caring for children orphaned by AIDS in Africa.
Hasbro has committed to donate 50 percent of the net profits from ZAMBI THE BABY ELEPHANT -- a minimum of $500,000 (in U.S. dollars) -- to the PROJECT ZAMBI Fund, part of the Hasbro Children’s Fund, beginning in 2009, and hopes to expand this global campaign to include additional Hasbro products and brands in the years to come. By purchasing ZAMBI THE BABY ELEPHANT, consumers will be supporting programs that work directly with children orphaned by AIDS in Africa.
This latest initiative is a part of the work Hasbro conducts in the U.S. and around the world to help children in need through the Hasbro Children’s Fund and product donations. In 2008, Hasbro impacted approximately four million children through its charitable programs and product donations.
