SEPTEMBER 15, 2011 - TORONTO, CANADA. Ganz announces the Ganz Parent Club, a new way for parents of Webkinz World™ members to earn KinzCash™ and exclusive Webkinz™ items for their children. Daily visits to play quick, fun games, read engaging and informative content, sign up for newsletters and share insights will let parents earn KC for their kids. As well, parents will get to learn more about the fun of the Webkinz site—and have a bit of fun themselves.

"We want to give parents a way to have fun, and have their rewards benefit their children”, explains Howard Ganz, president. “The points earned by Mom or Dad can be used to reward a good grade, can go towards buying a new virtual item, or perhaps simply be a surprise bonus waiting in their child’s dock when they next visit their pet."

The Parent Club will permit content sharing and will provide lots of informational reading about not only Webkinz World and related sites, but parent-themed issues and discussions. More and more features and areas will be added over the coming months, as the Club grows and responds to member feedback.

About Webkinz:
The original kids’ online world, Webkinz World introduced the concept of web-enabled toys. Webkinz pets combine the timeless fun of plush with the interactivity of the Internet. Members adopt pets, go on quests, enter tournaments, play games and quizzes, and create rooms and ‘chat’. The company’s success allowed the Ganz family to create Webkinz Foundation in late 2007, to develop programs and donate funds to programs that benefit children.
