Beanie Babies Bring $12,000 for Rory

All it took were those cute little Beanie Baby faces for one Highland Park specialty gift shop to gather $12,000 for the Rory David Deutsch Foundation. The Karyn Collection, a unique shop dedicated to quality gifts and accessories, has been setting aside $2 from each sale of a Beanie Baby, a Buddy, a Pillow Pal or Attic Treasure to support the Rory Foundation research efforts. The store is continuing its Rory fund-raising indefinitely.

You may purchase beanie babies from the Karyn Collection on line at www.tkcgifts.com or by calling (847) 831-5955 or by visiting the store at 1438 Old Skokie Road, Highland Park.
