The 2010 Toys"R"Us fundraising campaign to benefit Autism Speaks Canada launched on February 28 and continues through Friday, April 30. Throughout the nine-week effort, donations will be collected in all Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us stores across Canada, as well as online at toysrus.

Donations are also being collected during this time at Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us stores across the United States. Since the partnership launched in 2007, Toys"R"Us, Inc., the Toys"R"Us Children's Fund and customer contributions have combined to provide Autism Speaks with more than $5.5 million.

In addition to the fundraising campaign, Toys"R"Us is kicking off its North American sponsorship of Walk Now for Autism Speaks, a year-long series of more than 80 walk events in communities throughout North America. All funds raised in Toys"R"Us and Babies"R"Us stores, online and through the Walk Now for Autism Speaks events will go directly to Autism Speaks Canada to support research and advocacy efforts.
