I chose this organization because they had a great story and I loved the idea of giving kids toys and games to make them feel better! I've always wanted to make people happy (especially kids) and this seems like the perfect opportunity. Putting a smile on someone's face makes me feel super happy. I really am excited to volunteer and fill the bags.

Chuckles: An Origin Story

When Bags of Fun decided to find a mascot, Gabby's love for the book "Where is My Frog?" hopped into our minds, and we chose a frog. After several attempts at the right look, we landed on the handsome green bullfrog we have today. We looked to the Bags of Fun community for the name, and Chuckles was born!

It was very cool and fun volunteering at Bags of Fun. Whenever I got there, I saw all of the things I would be putting in the bag. Then, the founder of their Kansas City location, Louisa Weinrich, told me about what they do and about the person who is getting the bag. His name was Mason and he is 9. He has Leukemia. His parents requested a bag for him and told Louisa what he liked. I then filled the bag for Mason. It was really cool and fun. I'm so glad I did it!
