Nine year old Dorian Poe from Burlington, Ontario is working to raise awareness about autism with the help of his Webkinz Polar Bear, Tikko.
Dorian is sending Tikko around the world with friends, family and acquaintances who want to help spread the word. People take Tikko on their travels and send back photos of him all over the world. To help Dorian out with his goal to raise autism awareness, Ganz sent along a whole troop of Webkinz Polar Bears to cover more ground. You can follow Tikko’s progress on his Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TravellingTikko
When we saw on his Facebook page that Dorian would like Tikko to join up with the Ganz Road Trip, we wanted to make it happen! So Dorian’s team sent along one of their intrepid Tikkos to meet up with the gang at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, CA!
So, without further ado, please welcome the newest member of the Ganz Road Trip crew: Travelling Tikko! Looks like Tikko is settling in pretty well so far, enjoying his view of the Pacific Ocean and chilling on a deck chair after a long day at the Fair.
If you’re visiting the Ganz Road Trip at one of our many cross-country stops this summer, be sure to look for Travelling Tikko and help spread his message of hope!
Good job Ganz, and also to Dorian and the Polar Bear Tikko. It is nice that Ganz is going to raise awareness to autism and other problems people may have.
that’s really nice :) I have heard about those kind of “travel the world stuffed animals”
We are going to see Tikko on Monday!!! Will any of you be there? Look for us — our mom will be carrying her Cocoa DInosaur Amy wearing her Webkinz red and white polka dot dress. Introduce yourselves to us!!!
Awesome! I went to the road trip at the fair in Del Mar
