Donations benefit the Joy in Childhood Foundation’s programs that bring joy to children battling illness and hunger, including Dogs for Joy®, which places highly trained facility dogs in children’s hospitals across the country. These full-time pups support patients by teaching kids how to take medication, providing comfort during medical intervention, and motivating them through treatment.
“We’re incredibly proud of how this partnership unites dog lovers, coffee fans and a shared purpose � to bring joy to kids when they need it most,� said Dave Stangle, Vice President of Brand Marketing at BARK. “It’s a meaningful way for us to connect with our community and support a cause that brings comfort and happiness to so many.�
This year, joy is multiplying with a new litter of 11 facility dogs-in-training, bringing puppy power to the next generation of Dogs for Joy. These dogs � all named by ٳܲ쾱� franchisees and hospital Child Life Specialists � are already on their journey to become full-time helpers and companions across the country.
“These toys offer more than just fun for our furry friends, they’re a way for our guests to make a real difference during their next ٳܲ쾱� run,� said Mollie Collum, Director of the ٳܲ쾱� Joy in Childhood Foundation. “The success of this partnership helps us continue supporting new facility dogs, so every guest donation helps bring comfort and smiles to kids who need it most. With each toy, we’re spreading joy twice over.�
To date, the foundation has supported 50 facility dogs across 33 hospitals, positively impacting thousands of young patients.
