ATLANTA, April 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- KooKoo Bear Kids, Inc., an online and catalog marketer of upscale children's furniture and accessories, will donate the full proceeds of sales from CureSearch tee-shirts and green "Reach the Day" wristbands to CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation, a charity that supports life- saving childhood cancer research. Tom Glavine, NY Mets pitcher and a spokesperson for CureSearch, became active in the pediatric cancer community after a friend's son was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma. This child attends school with the children of KooKoo Bear Kids' president, Tara Mediate. Bonded by their affection for this child and their shared wish to help others like him, the families are uniting to raise funds for this worthy cause.

The featured items benefiting CureSearch are found in the Spring 2005 catalog or online at KooKooBearKids.com. An additional donation to CureSearch will be made from a percentage of profits of the clothing modeled by Tom Glavine and his family in the latest KooKoo Bear Kids' catalog. "I thought it was time to do something for children who go through so much when they fight cancer," said Glavine. "The child-oriented focus of KooKoo Bear Kids' website is a natural fit for generating donations to help fund CureSearch," said Glavine.
