With Easter and Passover around the corner Funky Monkey Toys & Books in Greenwich is prepared to create unique gift baskets and donate 10% of sales to the Greenwich Police Department (GPD) Scholarship Fund. In-store purchases of baskets or bundles will count toward the donation as long as customers mention the GPD Scholarship. Online purchases will have an opt-in checkbox at checkout if they would like proceeds to go toward GPD. These curated baskets, starting at $50, can be individualized by any age, boy/girl and gift preferences.
“Greenwich has such a strong sense of community and we are very appreciative of those partnerships that make our town so special, including the support from our friends at Funky Monkey,” said Chief of Police James Heavey. “It is fitting that a store that obviously looks to bring joy to all children is also honoring the Greenwich Police Department”™s 125thAnniversary with contributions to the GPD Scholarship fund ”“ our kids are our future.”
“”¦Being able to in turn support the children of the police force of Greenwich is just our way of saying thank you to the town and to the Greenwich Police Department,” Jared Greenman said, owner of Funky Monkey, which is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Greenman is a fourth-generation toy-store owner after his great-grandfather, grandfather and father. His father, Stan Greenman, was the creator and founder of the popular Noodle Kidoodle stores.
