The Wallet discovers Squeeze the Banker

From the front page of Wall Street Journal straight into the hands of President Obama–the Ben doll is now being squeezed by Mr. President as well! Glad we could make the President chuckle and (hopefully) provide some sort of means to de-stress. Hmmm…he might need a couple, y’know, for back up.

Squeeze The Banker isn’t just an exercise in creative stress reduction, 5% of the profits from Squeeze The Banker stress doll sales will be donated to Modest Needs.

Founded in 2002, Modest Needs is an award-winning public charity with a simple but critical mission: work to stop the cycle of poverty before it starts for the low-income workers whom conventional philanthropy has forgotten. Modest Needs says: “We do this by empowering compassionate members of the general public to safely and securely help hard-working, low-income households to afford the kinds of short-term emergency expenses that we’ve all encountered before: the unexpected car repair, the unanticipated visit to the doctor, or the unusually large heating bill, for example. We make sure that no hard-working person is ever forced to choose between taking a child to the doctor and putting food on the table.”

Modest Needs’ donors have stopped 5930 low-income individuals and families from entering the vicious cycle of poverty and a lifetime of dependence on the public welfare system for their survival.

Squeeze the Banker stress dolls are CreativeFeed’s first retail product launch. The dolls will be sold via multiple channels, you can see and purchase them at SqueezeTheBanker.com
